We went to the Edwards family reunion and Jimmy got to meet that side of the family for the 1st time since we've been married. We went and toured the Kirtland sites, hung out, went boating, and to the amusement park for a week. It was SO FUN and grandma rented the best house on this peninsula on Lake Erie. It was called "the glass house" and we had a gorgeous view of the lake from the front to the back.
My dad scored some VIP tickets from his friend at work and for Jimmy's bday we went to a Yankees game.
So in the Dominican Republic, everyone is OBSESSED with baseball. It's the one way that they can escape poverty. To compare it to something that American's obsess over, it would be like comparing it to--hmmm--I can't even think of something we're so passionate about. So when Jimmy goes to baseball games, he brings our dominican flag, signs with dominican spanish on them, and shouts dominican slang to the dominican players. So far he's gotten a ball thrown to him from Melky Cabrera, Neyosi, Jeter (although we dropped it and another guy got it--and Jeter isn't dominican para que sepas), and Robison Cano. This is a picture of one happy boy below holding his dominican flag. He just got a ball thrown to him from Cano and signed by Neyosi. Benefits of serving a mission...
These were our seats. Yeah--it was really nice. We had unlimited drinks, buffet, and our own waiter who doted on us the whole time. We didn't even know people actually ate steak, lobster, sushi, and shrimp at baseball games. We feasted!
Here is one of the signs that in Dominican means "Neosi is my homie." When Neosi came up and gave Jimmy a ball in front of like 30 kids who were begging for one, everyone was like "what in the world does your sign say?" and "how did you do that?"
We got to see my family off to Hill Cumorah Pageant which they are currently castmembers in. And just hang out and have fun. Good trip back east!
