Although we couldn't spend Father's Day with Zach (he was at his brother's house in Missouri during his road trip), we loved spending the day with Grandpa! Since Dan and Ben aren't the most well-behaved at restaurants, we went to Five Guys and had burgers and fries, followed by Grandpa's favorite, Baskin Robbins. They sure do love their grandpa (even if Ben calls him Grandma).
Zach arrived in Wichita the next day and we were thrilled to see him and to finally be together again for good. It's been so wonderful for him to be on leave and not answering texts/emails/phone calls about work 24-7. He doesn't have to report to school until mid-July so we have a couple more weeks of freedom.
The day after he arrived, we went to a Wichita Wingnuts game. It was cool because a guy named Nate Robertson was pitching for the 'Nuts that night. He was the year ahead of me in high school and has pitched for several teams in the major leagues, including for Detroit in the World Series. He's rehabbing from surgery and injuries, so he's back home and just pitching with Wichita until he gets picked up again. His younger brother (the year behind me in high school) is the pitching coach for the Wingnuts and his older brother is the general manager. So it was neat to see people that I hadn't seen in a really long time.
Dan and Ben really liked the game (and they LOVED the ice cream social beforehand). Last year, we made it through about 2/3 of one inning but this year we stayed for four whole innings. Maybe next year, we'll actually see the whole game!
