Father's Day and a D-backs game!

For Father's Day last weekend, we enjoyed spending time with some important people! Saturday was a quick trip to Tucson (since Papaw Dave would be there, mommy and Brenna took a quick drive).

Sunday was a day all about daddy - we went to all the stores that daddy loves (except a Harley dealership). First we started off at the zoo. Since it was so hot, we only stayed for about an hour, but Brenna loved it as usual and got to see quite a few of the animals while they were trying to keep cool. We also went to Cabela's and spent quite awhile roaming around all the stuff you could buy and looking at all the animals. Brenna was able to roam free instead of in a cart for some of the time so she was happy!


After Cabela's, we went to a couple of Sportsman's Warehouse stores and to a boot store. Then, after a nap in the car (it was a long way from the west valley back to the east side), we went to Outback for dinner. That wasn't anyone's favorite part since Brenna got sick (and I mean really got sick) on the table and daddy while we were there. But, Daddy got a free shirt (he needed a clean, dry one) out of the deal and overall had a good day!
The following weekend, we got to see the D-backs beat the Orioles at Chase Field. Brenna enjoyed seeing all the people, clapping when everyone else cheered and playing at the "Peter Piper Playhouse". She got to see her friend Jason and his family and lots of mommy's co-workers too.

Bookworm

Just a cute little story to share - although Brenna doesn't typically like to go into her room by herself (usually she wants to be where mommy and daddy are, and if we aren't in her room, neither is she). I'm sure this will change when she's a teenager right? Anyway, on a couple of different occassions, while we are busy doing things around the house, we have found that she is happy to get some books and read quietly (or not) to herself. It is very cute and sometimes every book ends up off the shelf! She also loves to read just before bed and usually gets 3-4 books a night.
