June 15-17: Father's Day Weekend!

Continuing with our summer of fun, we were thrilled to spend the weekend with Grandma, Grandpa, Tia Heather, Tio Jeremias and Cousin Betinho!  We started the weekend by participating in the San Jose Giant's race on Saturday morning.  Grant and I ran the 5K, and Heather ran the 5-Mile race.  We were amazed by Heather's speed, as she completed the race in sub-7:30 miles, and ended up with the 7th best women's time overall!

Since running the race meant that we got free tickets to the San Jose Giant's game that evening, we ventured out during the hottest evening of the year to sit in the bleachers for the minor league game against the Modesto Nuts.  Uncle Gene and Beth even joined us!  Then, we headed over to Rock Bottom Brewery in Campbell for a delicious dinner and belated birthday celebration for Grandma.  Betinho ate the vast majority of Grandma's birthday sundae, but Grandma didn't seem to mind.

On Sunday, we celebrated Father's Day with a yummy breakfast at the house, followed by baseball in the backyard.  Betinho is attending baseball camp one day a week this summer, and he's already proven to be all-star material!  I've never seen a three-year-old hit the ball like he can.  Grandma even took a turn at bat, and she hit a home run!  All the while, Ellie thought that swinging the bat was the most hilarious thing she had ever seen.  Every time we swung the bat, she would break into a belly-laugh!

  

Betinho next practiced his "superhero" powers by riding his tricycle around with awesome speed while wearing Ellie's Giant's cape.

And Grant's Father's Day would not have been complete without watching the U.S. Open with his little girl in his arms.  What a great weekend!
