Our first outing was to Chuckie Cheese, a favorite of the girls. Appropriate to their personalities, Mckenna loves to ride the big trucks and Baileigh spends her time drawing on the computer. They are so similar, yet so different!
We attended the Tacoma Rainier's minor league baseball game in the evening. Baileigh had been asking to go to a baseball game ever since we went to a Mariner's game in Seattle. It always sounds like a good idea, and it is...for about 3 innings!
The biggest motivator in attending this game was the Fireworks extravaganza afterwards. We slipped out of the stadium early to walk half way to the car and then find a good place to take in the show (we intentionally arrived late to the game so the kids wouldn't tire out too quickly...but forgot to factor in the parking aspect of the equation and ended up parking faaarrrrrrrr away!
The fireworks were beautiful. In hindsight it isn't recommended to sit about 50 yards from the actual launching site with a four month old and a four in a half year old with canine hearing. Baileigh initially cried until Brad shoved his fingers in her ears up to his knuckles and then she relaxed and enjoyed the show. Brooke was slightly distracted from her dreams and wavered between fascination at the bright lights to horror at their noise. Mckenna spent the entire time laughing and saying "ooooooo" and "WOW" and making us laugh and cry at the same time.
