Afternoon at the M's

Mom & Dad stayed over after the Steven Martin & Martin Short show so that we could all go to the Mariner game on Sunday as a belated birthday present for Mom.  We got tickets in the Terrace Club {I'm not sure C will ever sit anywhere else now} and while it was HOT in the sun, our tickets were luckily shady by the end of the 1st inning.  We picked a great game to go to, as Big Dumper got not one but TWO home runs, first tying then surpassing the record for most home runs by a catcher in the major leagues.  It was an electric atmosphere in the Park and a great day for an M's win!

Steve Martin & Martin Short {The Dukes of Funnytown}

A while back I saw that Steve Martin & Martin Short were bringing their show, The Dukes of Funnytown, to the Paramount theater and I knew that we had to get tickets.  Since Mom & Dad are huge fans of them too, we decided to make it a double date and a few weekends back we finally headed downtown to see the show.  We've seen a lot of shows this summer but this one is up there with my favorites - the rapport between the two longtime friends and colleagues was just as nutty, chaotic, and endearing as you would imagine and we spent the entire two hours laughing hysterically at the stories and anecdotes the two shared {along with a fabulous band that played midway thru the show}.  It was such a fun and special night getting to see these two comedic legends and I'm so glad we could all enjoy it together!

Zoo Day

A few weeks back {on Mom's birthday} I met up with all of these monkeys for a day at the zoo.  The two youngest kiddos had never been {and it had been years since we took Jack}, and it was so much fun to watch their excitement as they ran around the park, checking out the maps and pointing and gasping at all of the animals up close.  Even though we didn't see a cheetah and one of the favorite animals they saw was a glimpse of the dinosaur exhibit {?}, it was such a fun way to spend the day with my favorite kiddos {and so fun for Mom to have everyone together for her birthday!}.  Can't wait to do it again!

this kid is too much in the best way
