Take me out to the Ball Game

My Mom got us some tickets to the Bees-formally known as the Buzz. We looked forward to it all week. We got all geared up-we had some cloud coverage, so we brought jackets, an umbrella, and everything we could think of. We arrived just on time. We got all comfortable in our seats then came the rain. We thought-hey no problem we brought our umbrella. We opened it up and sat happy and dry in our seats. After about 15 minutes of continuous down pour we decided to make a run for cover. It rained for the next 45 minutes during which time a man tried to convince Cory to join the army. He said, "Cory-you are just what we are looking for a great man with a little family." I was thinking-is this guy crazy? There's no way I can do this parenting business by myself!!! At 8pm they said they were going to get the field ready, so we grabbed some paper towels and wiped down our seats. We waited excitedly for the players to come out......we watched them shovel water, shovel dirt, rake dirt, walk around, look around and all the while the minutes ticked away. Finally at 9:05pm the game started up again--then we noticed that something else also started up--some crying--Isaak was starting to tire out. We tried to get him to fall asleep, but it didn't work. We left after the first inning--which was all of 5 minutes. We look forward to our next exciting opportunity to watch watch some ball!!!!!This is a boring video of our baseball game adventure. I've warned you, but watch on......
.All Cory caught with his mitt was a cold baby!!!!!! Isn't his hoody cute?

Isaak kept looking side to side trying to figure out where the music was coming from...

July 29 Ward Lake & the Library Ketchikan

It's raining it's pouring the old man is snoring. He's really snoring. It's been down pouring since we got here last night and it poured all day long. We got up and headed out to Ward Lake to a BBQ with their church.  It's beautiful. The kids thought it was the best ever because they had donuts, chips, hot dogs, watermelon, cherries and cookies. Isaak of course immediately started playing with some kids his age. Chloe and Lydia frolicked around in the woods and played horseshoes. It stopped raining for maybe 10 minutes, but other than that it picked right back up. I was sure they were going to cancel the BBQ, but again the kids seemed indifferent to all the rain. Some of them were even kayaking. I was too busy freezing! The hike around the lake is 1.5 miles and we saw a beaver den sans beaver. We walked around the Lake and it was like being submerged in the rain forest. Well it's not like being submerged in a rain forest. We were in a rain forest called the Tong...

The Farthest North Point & Settlers Cove

The rain continues to come down. I've never seen it rain like this before. Teana and Derek told us that the rain is more consistent with weather in October than in the summer, but weather.com promises that a warm front is in store for tomorrow. We went to church in an amazing building. The ward house was completely built in Cedar. Apparently the church shipped a cedar kit and the members of the church in the area worked with general contractors to put it together. It's beautiful and it smells so good!!! Chloe didn't want to go to primary by herself. At first I was trying tough love, but she started weeping. Okay. So she was actually trully scared. I sat with her in primary and then someone in the sharing time chose to sing Gethsemane. Chloe immediately relaxed. I was again aware of how much Heavenly Father cares for his children. Gethsemane is Chloe's favorite song and she always sings it when she's sad or asks us to sing it for her. She then said it was okay if I...

July 28 Ketchikan Alaska

So I may be grateful that we camped out, but it literally rained all night long. And the sad news was that the sun wasn't coming out so we had to keep shaking out the rain fly repeatedly hoping for it to dry out. The good news is that it wasn't raining. The silver lining is that Isaak had so much fun playing with some kids from Smithers. They tromped around again all morning long. Isaak is brave. He saw kids running around and immediately went over to get involved in the game with no hesitation. They welcomed him instantly. I think it may have been Isaak's favorite campground because of how much fun he had. It made packing up wet stuff much easier. The rain fly was almost dry when we had to roll up the tent and get headed to Prince Rupert to check in for our ferry. We hoped to leave around 930-10am, but we didn't We wanted to go check out a preserve, but we plainly ran out of time. Prince Rupert is a cute little beachy port town. We did drive through downtown and had lu...
