I really enjoyed our 4th of July weekend this year. We kicked it off by going to the River Cats game Friday night with my parents. Can you get more American than that? I love everything about going to the ballpark, especially Raley Field. I love casually watching the game while chatting with family or friends. I love the music and energy of the crowd. I love standing up for the 7th inning stretch and singing Take Me Out to the Ballgame. I love eating a hot dog and cheering for my team, as if my yelling "we want a pitcher not a belly itcher" from the lawn behind right field will really rattle the pitcher.
Friday nights game was against the Fresno Grizzlies. It was a tough game but the "rally pants" were put on (apparently a pitcher on the team who is currently on the DL squeezes into skin tight pants and coaches first base when we're behind) and we won in the 11th inning 4 to 3. We all loved the firework show afterwards.
It was a warm weekend so Brian and Hannah tried to beat the heat by hanging out at our pool.
Sunday evening our friends hosted a dessert and firework potluck. My contribution was this white cake with strawberry and blueberry filling.
There were around 10 or so families from our ward and so Hannah had a blast running around with all her friends. Here she is with one of her best friends, Aubrey.
With everyone pooling their fireworks, we had quite our own show. Hannah's favorite were the sparklers!
