Simon ate a lot of sand.
The girls created this perfect little mini pool for Simon. He loved it.
We decided to go straight to downtown Durham and check out a Durham Bulls baseball game. We had never been to the stadium. When we arrived, the only available seats were lawn seating. We figured that would be fine but when we got to the "lawn" section, we discovered it was a tiny space, on a pretty steep hill, that was already pretty full. It was really uncomfortable to sit on a hill (and Simon had a hard time not rolling down) packed in a tiny spot. Plus the sun was directly in front of us, beating down, so we really couldn't see anything. We realized it just wasn't going to work. So we tried to attempt to get some food and all the lines were super long. The kids were wearing down at this point (Oliver was throwing a fit because we wouldn't let him play on the playground in the stadium...they charged $8!!! per kid to use it!) so we finally just decided to bail and go find dinner somewhere. We'll have to try again sometime with reserved seating and seats that don't face the setting sun. And maybe we'll get a babysitter.
We did enjoy checking out downtown Durham and the Tobacco Campus.
