STEPH AND RUBEN TRAVELED TO PITTSBURG TO

SEE THE CUBS PLAY THE PIRATES! THEY BOTH LOOK

UNHAPPY, MAYBE THEY WOULD HAVE MORE FUN AT A SOX GAME?

Max's first day of school in Dallas, 3rd grade!

Moved up to the "big girl" toothbrush!!!

We took her to her first White Sox Game... it was a perfect weekday afternoon... the air show is in Chicago and the Navy Blue Angels flew over the stadium several times... they also had 5 Navy parachuters land in center field, close to our section... the Sox won 9-2 over Kansas city with a team record 4 home runs in a row in one inning... she ate a hot dog, corn, pretzels, more hot dog... and lots and lots of water (or "Agua" as she still calls it). At one point they had a replay on the giant screen and she pointed to it and said "look daddy, baseball game". I told her there was a whole baseball game right there in front of her... she was very friendly to everyone in our section and so excited to be there in her pink Sox hat and jersey. She kept telling everyone around her "HI" and "this is my mommy and daddy and they took me to baseball game". Now mommy wants to take her to a Cubs game... I don't know, now that she's been to a major league game, why would you go to the minors... ha! ha!

From Aunt Gina and Max...
"We went to the pyramids of Teotihuacan, downtown Mexico City (including the National Museum of Art that has been newly restored), and finally the real reason we went to Mexico is so Max could open his taco stand 'Don Max'." (rest of the pictures on web album link on left...)
