Leifs First Baseball Game

When I was growing up my father had season tickets to the Angels and growing up we often went to games. When my dad comes to town he likes to do something fun with the kids and while he was visiting this time we went to an Isotopes game. Here in New Mexico as many of my fellow New Mexicans know we have no professional sports teams.

When my Dad got here the San Diego Chicken was here and he made a guest appearance.The Isotopes are as close a thing as we can get to going to a professional baseball game. They have a mascot named Orbit and I think he was cute. I thought he did really well acting jealous because the San Diego Chicken was here.

This was Leif's first baseball game, not Aurora's she has had the pleasure of seeing a professional baseball game for her first baseball game.

Here they all are outside the park just before the start of the game. We did not stay till the end because it started to rain and as you can see my children were not dressed for rain.

EUREKA!!!!

I finally got the rest of my pictures from my cell phone to my computer and with my ancient computer this was not easy. So here is my Eureka post the last of my pictures from the first day that we were in Iowa.

Here is Kathy and Leif at the park.

Leif on the merry go Round.

Cadillac Ranch

In Amarillo Texas there is a place called Cadillac Ranch and we couldn't not stop! Who wouldn't want to see 10 Cadillacs planted in the ground!

So here we are in Amarillo Texas checking out the classic caddy's.

once again Leif was not interested in posing for pictures.

But Aurora was!

Here was the whole family I don't like this picture of me but it was the only one that we had so here it is.

Aurora and Leif....as you can see Aurora was ready to have her picture taken...Leif not so much!

The back half of the cars

If pay attention in the Disney movie cars there is a reference to this place.

White Water Bay Oklahoma City

We decided that on the way back we wanted to take the kids to the water park on the way back from Iowa. They have never been to a water park as we do not have one here in Albuquerque. We didn't take many pictures as we did not want our Camera to get wet so these were taken at the end of the day.

When you return your locker key they give you gift certificates for the family to get a small soda and so we were standing in line waiting for our soda and I felt Leif sit on my feet. I didn't think anything of it. I noticed that he wasn't moving and I looked down and he was asleep!

Play Time in Iowa

These are not pictures of any event that was happening in Iowa but rather just the kids playing in Iowa next door or in the back yard in Iowa.

Leif and his Grandmother Kathy on the Trampoline.

The kids trying to bounce Grandma UP!

This is one of my favorite pictures.

looking at the frogs that are under Grandma's house. I tried to get a picture of the frogs too but you cant really see them.
