Trying to find Ryan a bat

This last Friday night we spent with our friends Ryan and Katie and went about as Ryan really, really really wanted a baseball bat. Before we would start our trek, we needed to stock up on rally good food. Panera is the best place to go because everything is SO good.

Across the street from Panera is Costco. We thought since it was Baseball season still, somewhat, we would be able to find something. While we did manage to buy some gifts for Juan and Audrey's new baby, the only thing close to baseball we found were wholesale Dodgers tickets.

Another unexpected by at Walmart was when I bought an ipod. It will be mainly for educational purposes and luckily Erin signed off on it, with the stipulation that mom is going to help pay for it. Still no baseball bats.


At Sport Chalet we found BATS!!! Only they cost around $100, and those are for the cheaper ones. That was above Ryan's budget, so he got a dozen baseballs instead.

Erin somehow broke the trim on their car door, but Ryan will fix it after he fixes his large, medium, and little trucks.

Erin found her next automobile purchase. No registration or insurance required.



Who doesn't like to end up and Barnes and Noble looking at magazines and other "SELF HELP" books. We had a good time as we kept trying to stall Ryan from going to other places to try and find a bat. AND WE WERE SUCCESSFUL. Towards the end of the night we went to see Juan and Audrey's baby Natalie. Audrey's parents were gracious enough to share some holding time but with the ever so watchful new grandparent eye. SHE is so CUTE with here super long arms. Pics should be up later.
