A lazy Saturday

What a treat to have a free Saturday... a day to do "nothing"! We spent the day just hanging out as a family! So great!!!

First, we went to the Pancake House for breakfast. We love the Pancake House! Matthew was commenting on how perfect Yorba Linda is... it is a good size city with a small town feel. I love our town too... I love our neighborhood, our school, and that some of our family live close by!

After breakfast, we stopped by to see Grandpa Louie and Grandma Molly. Boy, it was a really long drive! A whole 2 minutes!!! It was good to see them! The kids had a few moments to connect with their Great Grandparents :)

Next, we went to the batting cages. We just recently discovered this batting cage facility. It is fun for Isaac and Matthew to get in a couple of buckets of pitches. I think it does a good job of "scratching that itch" of baseball... especially when the fields are wet (it rained a few inches yesterday). Isaac tried the 50 mph cage and did very well. He also did a good job denting his tee-ball bat... time to get a real bat, I guess. Seth wants to get in there too, but he is still not quite ready for a 40 mph pitch yet. Maybe in a few months, Seth!

When we got home, Matthew went out for a quick 7 mile run and I watched the kids ride their bikes out front for a while. Seth is getting to be a good rider on a 2 wheeler and Isaac is getting more comfortable with his big bike. Abby... she still just follows behind with her little pink trike!

While we ate a quick lunch we watched the UCLA-USC game. It was a dark dark afternoon :( I know that SC was favored to win, but it was still sad times in our family.

After a light dinner, a time of mourning, and our evening routines, we all turned in for a good night's sleep :) Night-night!
