Wish these pictures had posted in reverse order!
On Saturday, after one in the afternoon, a decision was made to make a quick trip to visit Grandma. Since the females from the Junior Johnson home were missing, Bo and DanMan decided to ride along. Texts were sent to Julie, Stephen, (Jill was in Chicago), and Jenny. Turned out Julie was already in Monroe but the Fussells and the Pauls had nothing planned. Jenny's family met us at the nursing home. Grandma was so happy to have the company. Next stop was the Buffalo Grill for an early supper; the three Fussells joined us there. Then we all (six adults and five children) went to watch the Arkansas Travelers (Little Rock) play the Arkansas Naturals (Northwest Arkansas). Lucy was so excited because "The Arkansas" were going to win. We could safely assure her that her prediction would be 100% correct! There was an hour and a half weather delay before the game began but the rain was never heavy and there was plenty to see and do to keep the kids occupied. I was so grateful because the weather cooled off and it was so comfortable outdoors. (My enthusiasm for the plan initially was a tad weak because I was expecting to swelter the way we have been at DanMan's recent games!) Before the game got started, Shelli (Shelly, Shelley?) plunked himself down beside DanMan and the girls rushed in to pose.
I mentioned back in May that Hannah had been given a trip to New York City as a 16th birthday gift. Well, this is the weekend! Tanya sent this picture just before take-off. Last night, while we were being rained on at the ballfield, they were at the Majestic Theater, on Broadway, watching PHANTOM OF THE OPERA!!!!
