Take me out to the ball game...



Yesterday we went to enjoy a nice dinner at CCF. We didn't realize that it was the Bellevue Arts Fair so after dinner, we walked around to walk off our dinner. Every year, we try to go to the Arts fair and get a sign personalized by a vendor who sells cute signs. This year, we got a cute lavender sign that says "no soliciting" and an adorable football sign that says "Ely's Room". A husband and wife sells these signs and have been selling at the Bellevue Arts Fair for 15 years. We've been buying signs from them since we've moved into our current home. They make very cute signs and you can get signs personalized. :)


We enjoyed a nice day a the ball park in the cool shade. Ely watched the baseball game but mostly he watched people. Every time people clapped, he looked over them confused by it. He likes to clap to and it make him laugh. His clap isn't as loud so maybe that was why he was so confused. The game eventually got boring for him and he took a long nap (we were losing).

It was a very good baseball game! Daddy bought him a youth size bball cap that Ely will wear to his bbal games (infant size didn't fit). We enjoyed a fresh cold lemonade, very garlicy fries and a very very huge nacho.

It was nice to out at our first baseball game with Ely but it was too bad that the Mariners were doing so poorly. We weren't going to stay the entire game because we needed to go to a friends' b-day party but we weren't feeling too bad about leaving our nice seats behind.

Afterwards, we headed over to Lake Bowen Park for Jeff & Martin's b-day party. We met baby Olivia and had a chance to lay the babies down together on a blanket. Ely grabbed at her dress. Ely chatted away as I played tennis (for the first time in 3 years & in flip flops). He cheered me on as I was running around in flip flops. Unfortunately, my team lost but I was glad that I was still able to play after a few years of not picking up a racket. I am anticipating a sore arm in the morning.

Ely got to bed a bit late but I set up the Cloud B Twilight Turtle that we got in the mail today :P in his nursery. It was amusing enough for Ely because he stopped crying to stare at the stars. Pretty amazing!

It was a nice relief that it rained for a little bit but it got very humid and muggy. We'll try to stay nice and cool in the upcoming 90+ temperature.
