The 5th Birthday

Grandpa Wayne and Grandma Elaine were still in town for the kids' birthday. It was a big birthday weekend! On Saturday morning the kids had a soccer game. Then in the afternoon, we went to the Diamondbacks game. Jeff's work had their big family day, so we had free tickets, some Dback bucks to spend, and there was a whole family area set up. Sunday morning, Jeff and I went to the movies while the kids went to their favorite place, the popcorn play place at the theatre.  Sunday afternoon, the kids opened their gifts. They had a busy weekend full of activity, sugar, and lots of toys. Basically, the perfect time for five-year-olds.

We had a 45 minute wait to go walk down on the field.
