Rich and Kate came to stay and play for a short bit because Rich was attending an Economics conference here. We ALWAYS LOVE to have company...hint hint to anyone out there who wants to visit... :)
They arrived around dinnertime and we of course took them to our favorite pizza joint called Rialto's. I told the manager (who was taking our order) that we were moving at the end of the year and asked him what the chances are of us getting the recipe for our favorite pizza. We told him we'd most likely be moving to the west and that it would probably be out of delivery range. He said to fax him when we move and he'd give it to us! I'm not sure if he was pulling our leg or not but we will most definitely be faxing him come January to try to take him up on his offer.
When we go home we played a fun game they taught us called "No Thanks" and then a few good rounds of Monopoly Deal.
The next morning Rich headed to his conference, we dropped Bob off at the church to clean, and Kate, Duncan, and I visited the Cathedral of Learning.
After that, Duncan had to take a nap so we headed home. While he slept, I prepared my YW lesson and Bob needed to get some studying in. Luckily, Kate came prepared for such an occasion and had a book she could dive into during those quiet hours.
The Pattersons so kindly treated us to a Pirates game while they were here and we all had a great time. It was pretty humid and hot so Bob and Duncan cooled off in the nearby water feature before heading to the game. Duncan could have played there the rest of the evening.
The Stadium has an amazing view of the city!
I'm glad Duncan's hot dog was featured in the picture. What's a ball game without a hot dog?!
He also did a fine job of finishing the entire hot dog by himself.
I'm going to need to brush up on my quantity cooking skills to prepare for this kid's teenage years!
Family Picture with a Pirates player...well sort of.
Duncan really loved having Rich and Kate stay with us. In fact, after Sacrament Meeting they left to make the drive home and Duncan starting bawling as they left the pew and headed out the door.
Family Pic by the river.
The whole gang.
We even had fireworks after the game that were set off by the river. It was a pretty impressive show, glad we could see some during the month of July! That was Duncan's first experience with fireworks and he seemed to like them a lot.
Proof that we've been to a Pirate's game.
Thanks for coming to visit Pattersons, hopefully we can get up to Ithaca to visit you soon!
