I had to work today so we celebrated 4th of July yesterday by going to a Columbia Blowfish game and then watching fireworks. The Blowfish team is made up of college kids and it's a great family friendly atmosphere. We went with Mason and his mom and dad and I think we all had lots of fun. Mason and Ellie were pretty interested in the game at the beginning...Emmie was the kid drawing in the dirt in the outfield...haha...jk...but she wasn't really into the whole baseball game thing. She did like watching all the other kids and she got great at spotting the various mascots who were there. When we first pointed out the blowfish to her he was across the field and she said "Mommy, I want to go over there and hug the blowfish". Her love of the mascots makes me want to take her to Disney! They had a "mascot run" where the mascots line up and run across the field and the kids can chase them so I took Emmie down to do that and she had a BLAST...she had the biggest grin on her face the whole time. At the end of the run they could have their pictures taken with the mascots. When the fireworks started both girls got a little upset with the noise and Emmie kind of curled up on Paul's lap and within a few seconds she was fast asleep! Ellie cuddled up with me and watched and seemed to enjoy the fireworks as long as I was holding her close.

I love these pictures of Mason and Ellie...I'm pretty sure they're flirting with each other.

She had the best time dancing to "Jump on it"!
She LOVED the kangaroo!
