Round Rock Express Game

Today, we drove up to Austin to go to a Round Rock Express game.  A few weeks ago, Katie and Brent said they were trying to get a big group together to go to a game.  We thought it would be fun to take Kinley.  They ended up getting a bunch of free tickets from one of my mom's cousins who works for Budweiser. 

We stopped at Katie and Brent's, where we were staying for the night, to drop off our stuff and stretch our legs a little bit.  Then, we headed to the ballpark for some tailgating.  Brent and Katie brought their grill out, and grilled some delicious sausages.  We had a nice shady spot, so we sat around eating and visiting.  Earlier in the week when we went to the Carter's store, my mom bought matching outfits for Kinley and Emily to wear.  I tried to get a good picture of them, but I just couldn't get them in the same place, standing still.  They both wanted to run around and explore.

After we cleaned up all the food, we headed for the ballpark.  This baseball experience was definitely different for me.  I honestly have to say I wasn't able to pay much attention to the game, because Kinley consumed most of my time.  We still had a great time.  Luckily our seats were in the shade.  It was still fairly warm, but at least the sun wasn't shining down on us.  We enjoyed doing something different with Kinley.  They had a fireworks show after the game.  Kinley seemed unsure at first, but then she watched and enjoyed the lights.

We got back to Katie and Brent's house pretty late.  I gave Kinley a quick bath and put her to bed.  The rest of us sat up visiting for quite a while before we all crashed, too.  We had a fun night!

The next day, we got up and hung around Katie and Brent's house.  Cory went to play golf with my uncle and a few other people, and Emily stayed with Debbie, Katie and Reese.  Later in the morning, all the girls came over to Katie and Brent's to visit.  They were all pretty amused by Kinley and Molly, Katie & Brent's dog.

After that, we all got showered and headed to Manor to eat lunch with Pawpaw.  The restaurant was a little busy, so we couldn't push tables together to make one big place to sit.  We ended up sitting in 3 different places, so we didn't get to visit all that much, and I didn't take a single picture while we were there.  We had fun, though, and headed back home after lunch.  It was a great weekend!
