Year: 2011

We have been watching the construction on the new Dick’s Sporting Goods all summer. It finally opened and we went to see the new store. We drove away because it was so crowded. After we left I insisted I wanted to go back and see the big fish tank. Mommy and Daddy thought I was crazy! We ran a few errands and then returned to the store so see this massive bass fishing trailer completely stocked with fish!

Very cool!!!

We stayed and watched a show about fishing and got free floating key chains and a beach ball!

The next day we tackled the sweet potatoes. It took all day with the entire family working. We got all the sweet potatoes harvested as well as all the carrots.

What a difference!

Everyone was exhausted. Mommy snuggles Thunder at night. Thunder will ONLY sleep with Mommy. He even tucks under most nights! Strange cat!

When Daddy was out of town, Mommy managed to get a bunch of BIG boxes at Target today! We built an entire city with connecting tunnels, fancy roof lines and a castle. We cut, colored and decorated for two days!

While Daddy was away on a woke trip, Mommy took us to a Threshers game. We got their early and met the mascot, visited the team store and scoped out our seats.

Then this HUGE storm rolled in! HUGE!

We watched the employees scramble to get the field covered before the rain came. They barely made it.

It rain for an hour and we sat in some comfy seats and snacked on peanuts, popcorn and soda pop!

Finally the game started (nearly 9pm!!). We had awesome seats right behind home plate. There was next to nobody in the stands due to the rain delay and it being a school night.

We managed to stay for the entire game (ended after 11pm!!!). Mommy told us to go to the dugout and say HI to the players. They gave us each a ball! HOW COOL!

I made a new friend and we had a near all day playdate! It ended with us going to a park with his neighbor to launch a rocket! Way cool!

When Mommy was mowing the lawn this little Black Racer jumped up and onto the lawn mower. She managed to catch it and cage it for us to observe.

He was a cool snake. Black racers don’t make good pets so we had to let it go.
