At the beach...

We are currently enjoying a relaxing week at the beach at Gran & Grandpa's condo. So far lots of time by the pool. We went to a minor league All-Stars baseball game last night, loads of fun and are planning to hit to beach this morning. And a night out tomorrow for hubby and I!

Hope everyone is enjoying their summer so far! I can't believe that June is almost over already. July should be quieter around our house, but we'll see what happens.

A few things about the ballgame that I don't want to forget...

Pelicans is the home team and they were very well represented on the Carolina league All-Star Team. One of the Pelicans won the Homerun Derby! They played against the California league All-Star Team. We sat next to the family of one of the pitchers of the California team, #19. That was pretty cool but I wished they had sat closer so they didn't have to yell up 2 rows all night long!

The Pelican mascot Splash was running around the stadium. Victoria tried twice to get a picture with him, but each time she got near him he was off to perform somewhere. Reggie, the Purple Party guy was awfully silly!! He was out on the field dancing, then his mom Regina showed up and was flirting with the home plate umpire. Reggie was signing autographs at the end of the game, so we thought cool, if we couldn't get a picture with Splash we'll go see Reggie.

All was good while waiting in line... Victoria was going to have him sign the back of her ticket...one of Reggie's helpers was talking to her... all still good... we're next in line... then I hear, "Mommy I don't want to!!" ... she got all upset! And we had been doing so good! So I handed Reggie her ticket which he signed and kissed for her and he tried to talk to her but that about made her worse... no picture with Reggie!

What else... hot dogs of course, Dippin Dots Ice Cream, Cheeseburger and Buffalo Tenders, fries with daddy.

For a little girl who is normally in bed at 7:30 she was great at 10:30pm when the game ended. She was so excited to see the fireworks after the game but once they started she was ready to go home!!! Too loud she said!

One of the best parts was the special guest who threw out the first pitch.... Vanna White!! One of Victoria's favorite things right now is to watch Wheel of Fortune just before bed. So when we saw in the paper that Vanna was going to be there we were very excited. She was riding in the back of a car around the field and we wathhed her as she rode right past us.

And.... The Carolina Team WON!
