The Big City

 We spent two nights downtown with Grandma and Grandpa and the kids did not want to leave.

 We spent a day in Old Town.

 Panning for gold...

 and churning butter.

 Riding the trolly was a treat.

 Then we met up with Troy and his biggest fans to celebrate his 17th bday.  The Padre game was packed.  I've never seen so many Giants fans in all my life! 

 So we had our work cut out for us trying to get on that Jumbotron....we were dancing and waving our pompoms and even chasing down the camera guy.  And it all paid off. These ladies made it on not once, but TWICE! (I was taking someone potty and missed the first moment of glory but made it on the 2nd time).  And Cooper, you were on there too.  Those camera men are just too fast.

 Grandma and Grandpa had Penelope mezmerized the entire game.

 Happy 17th Troy!!

 Then back at the condo, Breanna entertained us all.

 While Grandma and Jake duked it out.

 Then we topped the day off with a walk down the boardwalk.

 A visit to the WWII memorial and standing on Palau.

And shrimp (or chicken nugget) boats at Anthony's.

Grandma and Grandpa, thank you so much for one heck of a vacation. Thanks for showing us the town and making it so fun! Thanks grandma for putting up with our music, my driving, and a healthy dose of daily whining.  Thanks grandpa for putting up with fingerprints on those gorgeous windows (and let's be honest everywhere else too), binocular fights, and my kid busting in to your neighobor's place. 

You spoiled us big time and you were so patient with us and our many quirks! 

We can't say thanks enough!

WE LOVE YOU!!!
