The Cubs, Swimming and Book Reports

 This past weekend we went to the Cubs vs. Diamondbacks game. This is the game that we gifted Andy tickets for Father's Day. Max's friend was also there with his family so we caught up with them prior to the game. The stadium was PACKED and there were a lot of Cubs fans. The Diamondbacks also handed out hats to the first 15,000 kids to enter so Max got himself a hat and supported both teams.


We had seats behind first base and 13 rows back so they were good seats. Andy ended up catching one of the promotional items the promo girls threw out into the audience. He didn't get a ball like last time, but you can't always catch a ball at the games.



We got some swimming in this weekend and it might have been my last weekend but we will see how the weather is. It's still hovering around 100 degrees in the late afternoon but since it's been cooling off at night our pool has been cooling off too. This past weekend the pool was at 86 degrees. Max will continue to swim for a few more weekends, but I am not sure about me.



Max handed in his first book report and presentation. He ended up getting 100% on the presentation portion. He also had to do a commercial to convince his class to read the book. Think of a YouTube video. He had to be excited and creative with his video. I borrowed a ring light and a green screen from work to make this happen. Max thought the equipment was cool but he was not excited to record himself. Ultimately he did a really good job on his first book report and commercial. 



Now it's time to get ready for Fall break.
