2008-08-19 David at 1st MN Twins baseball game

Our church, Ebenezer Lutheran Brethren, got group tickets to attend "Lutheran Night Out" for the Twins game on August 19th. Julie, David, David D, and I rode the light rail train from near the MOA to the Metrodome (David D and my 1st ride on this train). The train was packed. While we waited DD enjoyed some time climbing through this sign.

Soon his Daddy had him watch for the coming train...

"What is this thing?.."




The train is all decorated...

Once we got off there were SO many people..doesn't David look overwhelmed!
The ticket lady was excited for David to see his 1st game!

Once inside we quickly found Grandpa who carried him up the many steps to our seats.

David taking in all the noise and people!

There's a ball down there??? Where?? I can't see it!
Secure in Mom's lap..




The happy family enjoying the game

The sign listed our church name with other Lutheran church groups attending.

David lasted quite well but it was getting way past bedtime so the family

left about the 6th inning. G&G stayed for the whole game!
A fun time was had by all !

2008-August 5th: neighborhood National Night Out

Our neighborhood celebrated August 5th with a picnic in the backyard of one of our neighbors for the National Night Out. It was a beautiful evening. Doug was out of town for his job so Julie, David, and little David joined me. David loved the freedom in that backyard, the flowers and especially enjoyed splashing the water of the birdbath! (Ish!)

a great turn-out of neighbors enjoying one and another...
the happy 3!

testing the water!!

What fun!
