FATHER'S DAY AT THE BALLPARK

Father's Day was spent at the I-Cubs game this year.  My dad and brother joined us for a fun afternoon at the ballpark.  Father's Day was also Lee's and my 6th Anniversary this year, so it was a big day!  It was a beautiful summer afternoon full of sun and warmth.  It is honestly impossible for the kids to sit and watch a baseball game, so we are so very thankful that there is a sprinkler/splash park area for them to play in.  It's a nice place for them to take a break, play, and cool down!  So, we grabbed seats near the splash area and all took turns taking the boys over to the sprinklers.
It was a great day spent with my wonderful Dad and my wonderful husband who is also an amazing Dad!  And I know how much my Dad appreciated an afternoon at the game with his kids, son-in-law, and grandkids.  (We did miss Liz though!)  And I also know that Lee enjoyed some relaxation watching the game and taking a break while the kids were busy at the splash park!
The boys got Lee a new tent for Father's Day so that we can first practice "camping out" in the back yard.  He also received something that we created for him for his office at work.  For our Anniversary, we splurged and got a much needed, new grill!

 One of the many times we took a break at the splash park area.  Here's Brady "kicking" the water.
 Tyler enjoying some time with his Uncle Josh.
 Both boys "hitting" the water.

 The boys were trying to get their Grandpa wet.
 Cubby, Brady, and Tyler.
 The boys giving Cubby a hug.  They were so excited to see him!
We got to run the bases after the game.  Tyler ran his fastest around the bases, and Brady wouldn't go without me. (no surprise there!--he's attached!)  Brady is on 1st base in this picture and Tyler is between second and third in his blue swim trunks.  Going into home, they got to give Cubby a high five.  Brady stopped and stared at Cubby for awhile, which is exactly what Tyler did when he got to run around the bases when he was two years old.  So cute!
