Saturday and Father's Day

Saturday

Richard had to go into work for a little while in the morning, but got home around 11. Which was perfect, because I left then to get my hair done. We played some games together and cleaned a bit before leaving for the Tides game. We got tickets from Lindsey because she got four free tickets at work. We had a good time, even though the Tides royally suck. We got nachos and pretzels. We had to watch the game closely though because we were in the foul section. A couple balls came our way, which had us diving over the babies to cover them. The only one that came close to us though was one that a little boy caught in his popcorn bucket. It was supposed to be a fireworks night but because of a little wind and the fact that there are two wildfires nearby, the fire marshall said no go. The smoke was really bad all day all over town because of the fires, it smelled like campfire, even in the car and house. When we got home and were putting Lil to bed, while she was on the changing table she was in such a good mood, and I was tickling her tummy and laughing and she laughed! I screamed for Richard and he came in and we even got it on video once. The video is great and we posted it here - pardon our stupid antics trying to get her to laugh again.

Sunday - Richard's First Father's Day

We went to church and then went to Joe's Crab Shack for lunch. R has been wanting to go there for a while, but I've put it off since I don't like seafood. But we had a good time. Then we returned some pants to Old Navy and stopped back home to pick up the stroller we forgot. Then we went north, over the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel (with fairly little backup even) and went into Hampton to the Virgina Air and Space Center. They have a Jellybelly exhibit R saw on TV and wanted to go to. The Jellybelly exhibit was large but kind of lacking. But the Air and Space Center itself was really great. 10-15 full size planes and tons of interactive displays and videos. Well worth our time. And money, since it was only $9 to get in and we had a buy one get one free coupon. We got Dairy Queen Blizzards on the way home and they were YUMMY. Now I'm trying to pack for Tuesday because tomorrow we're going to the zoo.
