Rock had a pretty good weekend. He got to go visit Jim and Jenny and their kids up in Wisconsin and he got to go to his first baseball game!! We went to Miller Park in Milwaukee and got to watch the Brewers beat the Florida Marlins on a Prince Fielder homer in the 8th. Since I am used to games in Seattle, where people are hopped up on Starbucks and sushi, I grossly underestimated the number of sobriety challenged people that would be cheering for the Beermen in a stadium named for the High Life. Lets just say that apparently the two drink "limit" was more of a minimum. Among the ethanol induced hijinx: DeAndra had a whole beer dumped on her brand new running shoes, beer poured down the side of Rock's diaper bag (so she had to find a new one for church today, since she didn't want to be in sacrament meeting smelling like the floor of a high school prom dance), a group of hispanics that kept trying to start the wave every TWO minutes but were to drunk to be understood in English or Spanish, and someone walking up the stairs almost spilling a whole beer on DeAndra while she fed Rock. So, needless to say, DeAndra isn't the biggest Brewers fan right now. But she would be a big fan of the Milwaukee Sobriety Checkpoints, if there ever was such a team. Rock put on quite a show in church today. In gospel essentials class Sister Browne was making a wonderful point about prayer when Rock decided it was time to let it fly. He let it out in three separate burst that were almost as powerful as what his mom lets out, but not quite. The best part is that after each salvo he laughed out loud and smiled all big and cute. I've never been more proud. Also in church today the Browne's made a formal offer to engage Nadia and Rock. This looks like a good move on our part, since it will add height and looks to the gene pool. I'm not sure what the Browne's are looking to get out of it, except I think they are banking a lot on the hope that Rock won't grow up to look like me. We'll let you know how negotiations pan out.
We enjoyed your visit. It was a most interesting experience at the game. We hope you will come back to Wisconsin again. We do offer more than bad weather and beer.

don't worry. We had fun and like coming up. But DeA just likes to exaggerate to make her stories better!
ReplyDeleteCertainly exaggerating is not a trait Aaron would inherit from his father or grandfather. Love the pictures, as usual! Rock certainly seems to be a very content boy. You certainly are doing things wonderfully!
