Best Week Ever!! June Trip, All Star Break!

ALL STAR BREAK! For 3 Whole days I get my husband all to myself (well and the girls) with no interuptions at 2:00 pm to go to the field and i'm not going to be lonley til 11:00 pm! Woop Woop! (Yes im a Woop Girl)

The girls and I headed out to Salem, Virgina for a whole 7 days! So exciting! They hadn't seen Brew since he left for Spring Training. It is crazy expensive to fly all 3 of us out that far so much, and we know I've already learned my lesson on buddy passes. Yikes! So we packed all up, brought our two dogs to doggy daycare, and set sail. Or Took off. Whatever. The first 4 days we went to every game. Three were night games and one was a day game. Every day we took Brew to the field at 2 and roamed around Salem. The 1st day we got mani, pedis and the girls got cute B's on their toes and fingers. We went cupcake hunting and found some pretty ones at Bubble Cake in Salem, although I got a mean text from a baseball wife who was very unhappy with me that I went there instead of Viva La Cupcakes! (Ha-ha Love you)! I even found an indoor Jump place to kill a few hours in and attempt to drain their energy.

At the games, we made friendship bracelets, played on our electronics, colored, played on the jumpies at the kids center and went broke with the girls wanting their daily nachos, dippin dots, pretzels and other various ball park foods. They about drove everyone crazy running up and down the stairs yelling and screaming! The jump center was a relief for awhile to let them burn it all off. Every game though from about the 5th-9th inning we had our butts in the seats.

Believe it or not, this is the first time I had seen him pitch all season. Other trips were not on his Pitch Days. Lame! They should schedule that crap on days wives are in town. I'll call somebody. Anyway, Brew pitched on the 3rd night. He pitched a few innings and gave up one run. I felt terrible that I ruined his streak but am still proud of how well he has done lately. He wasn't the most thrilled husband right after the game but like I told him, there wouldn't be baseball if there wasn't a run now and then. I love seeing him on the mound. It gives me a rush of something I can't explain.

Here is Brew and the girls after the games and us before the game in the tunnel!

Aside from Baseball, we took the girls fishing, we as in Brew did, I got a magazine and watched. =) The creek was beautiful. The girls caught fish, Went sliding down the creek, and I enjoyed the shade and the greenest area I have ever been in! Averie stuck by my side most of the time. She is a chicken like her mama. Madison is a little tom boy! She likes to get in that water, and get all up in those fish! Uck! Whose child is she?!!! While in Salem again, we went to my favorite, Fork in the Alley. The girls caught fire fly's and we enjoyed the outside music, while they played corn hole and played with the fly's. Averie had one on her hand and kept petting it and it would light up! Too fun!

Every night the girls slept in the living room, on an air mattress. While we were there his two roommates were home and one of their girlfriends, but both left for All Star Break for 3 days, as one was in the All Star Game and one went back to Atlanta. Of course, I was all panicked the first few days with a 3 bedroom apartment full of 7 people and making sure the girls were on their best behavior and not screaming and running. They still did. Every moment. They did however, get lucky since I couldn't scream like I normally do or his roommates would think I was a Physco! So they got a nice mom for the week. Luckily, all 7 of us were hardly ever there at the same time aside from when everyone was sleeping. So it all worked out. The girls got a kick out of sleeping on an air mattress. 

Finally, All Star Break, we headed out on a 5 hour road trip to Myrtle Beach, SC! So excited!!! We stayed a hotel near the beach and near the Boardwalk which is an amazing outdoor, mall, food, entertainment venue around a body of water! Fabulous! We spent the entire day at the beach! So much fun! My daredevil child got a board and went way out, further than Id ever go, caught live conch shells, found a crab and more yucky  creatures, while Averie and I layed out, played in the sand and found sea shells! My kind of girl! Overall, we had an amazing time, getting fat, eating fast food (Don't even get me started on Bojangles and their sweet potato pie and chicken and biscuits!) and out every single day, every single meal (I'm now on operation starve myself), spending so much time with Brew, going to the games, and being in his presence. He is an amazing man and we are so lucky to have him! Leaving was the hardest thing to do. I know I won't see him until the season is over and that breaks my heart every day. It makes me so happy that the girls get to experience so many new cool places we would never normally visit. Now we are on a countdown that hurts to see so high, but with Skype, Facetime and the phone, it sometimes, makes it a little easier. 74 More Sleeps.
