Last year we went to San Bernardino for the Little League western regional championship. We had so much fun that we really wanted to go again this year. The teams playing this year were Northern CA and Southern CA. It wasn't that crowded last year, but this year it was PACKED! We were there about 45 min early and it's a good thing or else we wouldn't have gotten a seat. But before we went to the game, we drove by the Redlands Temple. I had never seen it, so Kyle decided to drive by it and let me and Jack get out and walk around for a minute. Joey was sleeping, so Kyle stayed in the car with her. We are trying to teach Jack to recognize temples, so when we point one out he gets excited. He even knows that Moroni is on the top and that he plays a trumpet. So smart. ;) Anyways...after driving by the temple, we grabbed a quick bite to eat and headed to the game. It was a good game and Southern CA won. However, we had to leave in the middle of the 5th inning because we were meeting a friend of Kyle's for dessert. The games are only 6 innings, so we didn't miss much. While we were getting dessert, Jack fell asleep and Joey fell asleep as soon as we got back in the car. It was a long day for them but everyone had a lot of fun.
More exciting news about Jack...he got his line out! No more tubies! He got them out last Tuesday and had to wait 48 hours for a real bath, and once that time was up he got to enjoy the first good bath of the year. Of course he had baths throughout the year (we do still believe in good hygiene), but with his tubes it was a big ordeal and he couldn't really enjoy it. So having a lot of water and being able to play and splash was a big deal. The next big thing he had to wait for was going to the pool. He had to wait until Saturday to be able to go. Saying that Jack was excited is an understatement. We went to the store a few days before his line was taken out and bought him some swim shorts (or what he calls his Jellyfish Pants). Every day after that he would beg to go to the pool. So when Saturday came and we actually said he could go...he was so excited he could hardly stand it. In the early afternoon we put on our swim suits, packed up our towels and sunscreen, and headed up the street. Both Jack and Joey had tons of fun splashing and swimming in the water. Jack also had fun jumping off the edge into the pool. A good bit of time was also spent in the kiddie pool. Jack didn't have to wear his floaty vest and it was easier for both of the kids to play and have fun. We were at the pool for about 2 hours and Jack really did not want to come home. But we finally made it home and both kids were so worn out that they immediately fell asleep. They were even tired and grumpy all through the next day as well! They sure had fun though. I'm so glad that we didn't completely miss going to the pool this summer. We are getting a late start, but some time is better than none.
Jack and Joey are so goofy that they make it so much fun to be with them all day. Of course we have some rough times or rough days, but overall we have happy kids. I love them and I just can't resist those cute little smiles!
