Go Astros?!

This past week the kids and I were invited to go to an Astro's game with our friends.  They had a bunch of extra tickets, and a 12 person van (they have 7 kids)...So we jumped on board and I had my first Minute Maid Park experience.  So different from Fenway!  Good old Fenway!  Side note:  We were out to eat last night and caught the Sox game in Boston on TV.  All those die hard fans in the drizzle.  Bundled up in their ponchos, and sitting through the weather!
Anyway...I had packed a sweatshirt and all kinds of weather preparedness...DUH!  The stadium has a roof that closes for inclement weather...and because it was so warm out it was shut and there was AIR CONDITIONING!?!?  We had great seats, but the Astros did not even score that night...  Oh well.  A pretty stadium and great seats still do not make for a winning team. We will always be Red Sox fans through and through.
On the home front, our tomatoes and hot peppers are getting ready to pick.  The kids enjoyed their second riding lesson, and were excited to trot.  They also completed their history projects that they have been working on for the past few weeks and presented them live to Gammy and Gampy (via FaceTime).  Their grandparents gave them both an unbiased "A+++++++"

First harvest.

I cut Zevon's hair all by myself!

Joel making sure not to loose Ethan!

Altuve is by far the cutest of the Astros...

Kids were practically on the field!

Elizabeth manages to juggle her 7 kids and pack snacks for the Jason's!

O.K.  This is a picture of Elizabeth's dad's TV.  I am smiling out of relief that the foul ball went one row behind me!  I was on TV!
