Louisville Slugger Factory

By Amity -
Our fun adventure today was a trip to Louisville to the Louisville Slugger factory.   The city has lots of neat architecture.  We stumbled upon a festival with some great food, a perfect place for lunch! Aftwards we hit the factory for a tour to see how they make their baseball bats.  The tour was very cool.  It was amazing to see how the bats are made and how many they actually do.  After our tour we checked out some fun stuff in their museum and the kids got to play around a little bit.  They even had a "Ripleys" area for baseball stuff.  Mac got to hold a bat that belongs to Ken Griffey, Jr and John held a bat of Cal Ripkin, Jr.  We ended with Mac in the batting cages and he broke his first wooden bat.  He was kind of freaked.....but then excited that he actually broke a bat.

Friday night Christina came out from LA to hang with us. John headed out early Saturday morning to spend a week fishing in Mexico with Jimmy for his 40th birthday!  Saturday Christina and the kids played almost all day long.  From shooting targets with Mac to being a princess, then playing Zombies with the kids and lots of Uno....all before lunch!  We hung out at the pool for a little in the afternoon, then met Mike and Sarah for some dinner and arcade games.  What an awesome way to end our last night with Grandma Cheryl, Mike and Christina.  I think everyone had a blast and I think Christina slept pretty well Saturday night!!!!!!

The forecast for today was a high of 100 degrees with humidity so what else is there too do on a hot day but hit the movies. I surprised the kids with lunch then we went and saw Toy Story 3 in 3D, the kids loved it. Emily did much better than I expected and only got bored the last 20 minutes or so. Mac of course couldn't take his eyes off the movie.
