Our summer trip to Ohio

We took a two week trip to Ohio in June, to visit family and friends. Daddy stayed in Vegas to work and get ready for the busy rush for July 4th weekend. Mommy and the kids traveled to Columbus and had a great time seeing everyone. We were able to go and do a lot of fun things this time. We went to the zoo and saw a newborn baby elephant, which the kids loved seeing. We also went to COSI (museum) and spent time learning some new things and enjoying an afternoon with family. We went swimming a couple of times with our cousins and played at the parks. We went to the Whetstone Park of Roses where mommy and daddy were married. The kids enjoyed walking around and looking at all of the roses. We had a great two weeks and Leila did well with all of the traveling.

Las Vegas 51's baseball game

Our family was invited to a Las Vegas 51's baseball game through the Candlelighters organization. The tickets were donated by Metro PCS and they chose Leila as the child to represent them and throw out the first pitch at the game. It was very exciting for all of us and Leila was very nervous about being in front of a stadium full of people. A friend of ours who is also a teacher at Leila and Rami's school, put together a large group of teachers and their families to attend the game that night in support of Leila. They made a huge sign that said WE LOVE LEILA and held it up during her first pitch throw. We all sat together as a group and enjoyed the game and snacks. It was a fun evening and we greatly appreciate the support from all of the teachers.
