Last Series - Our last Bats Game

For Mother's Day I took the kids to Slugger Field.  2 of my most favorite Mother's Days have now been at the ballpark!  It just might have to become a tradition.

On the slides - best friends!

Yeah - I play a little ball...

 The Real reason we went to the ballpark is that IRON MAN was making a special appearance!  The kids were SO excited to see him!!!

 Oh how we Love our Buddy Bat!  Emma was especially excited that both Iron Man and Buddy Bat gave her little smooches!  But her boyfriend Collin was not so happy - he told his police officer father that he was going to need to arrest Buddy for kissin his woman!

A little cotton candy...or a lot!!!

Great day at the Bats stadium and a pretty good Mother's Day!

The Last Series...Derby Time!

So for another Last...this was probably our last trip to the Derby...at least for a few years!  We had a great time with some of our Centerplate friends despite the cold and rain all day long. 

Here's a quick Derby recap!

(I only took a few photos - it was just too cold and rainy!)

These two are just alike!

This is what happens when you leave your bar unattended!

Did I mention I kind-of like this guy!  I miss him!!

It was a good year for mud sliding in the infield...

This guy in the suit coat and tie took it to a new level and decided to ditch his clothes and tie...until the military came over and politely requested he put them back on! 

We will miss this place - Derby is just one of the amazing events we were lucky enough to
get to go to while living in Louisville!  We will mss it!

Another Last...

 Last weekend, Zach has his last race in Louisville...so the kids and I went down to support him. 
It was chilly but we all had fun!



Here he comes...



Not sure if the kids were there to watch Zach race or to play on the bouncies!

Little owl eating some breakfast on the streets...pitiful!

  

Congrats Daddy on all your races in Louisville - we look foward to watching you race in California!  (And I have to admit we won't miss wearing winter coats to do it!)

The "Last" Series...

Over the next few months - there will be a lot of Firsts and many Lasts...so why not share them with our blog family!  Here is the first "Last" in the Last Series...

Last event at the KFC Yum!Center...

Last night Zach said goodbye to many people who have made the past few years a success - it was a big job to open this arena, but he had a lot of help and made many new friends along the way. 

I know he'll miss the KFC Yum! Center!
