Erik & Farmor Visit

This past weekend Farmor and our oldest nephew Erik visited. They arrived Thursday evening. Friday morning we went to the aquarium.
Erik and Ainsleigh reading their maps. "It's right here on the map" (a family joke).
Touch tank.
Later that evening we went to our last Orioles game for the summer. It was also Erik's first baseball game. After being down 5-0 after 2 innings, the O's came back and made it very exciting towards the end of the game, but, alas, they still lost. Every time people cheered, Ainsleigh asked "Did they tie it up?" Austin was very impressed with her sports lingo. Thankfully, Ripken enjoyed this game much more than the last one!

On Saturday, we went to the Science Center.

We couldn't get Erik to lay on the bed of nails :)
Saturday night Kay watched all 3 kids (this was the first time we've left Ripken) so Tracy & Austin could go out to dinner to celebrate our birthdays and anniversary. Thanks for giving us our first night out in a long time! Sunday morning Farmor and Erik left, although thunderstorms kept Erik sitting in the airport for several hours. Ainsleigh liked showing Erik around Baltimore and having someone with whom to play!

I love that cute picture of the four of you at the game. That's so cute! It's so neat that you are into baseball so much. And how cool that Ainsleigh is using "sports lingo"!! Has she been to a football game at Beaver Stadium yet?
