Ponstein Get-Together

This past weekend we got together with the Ponstein side of Brian's family.  We had a picnic dinner at Grandpa and Grandma's house and played some games outside.  It was fun to play with the little kids and see everyone again.  Here's some pictures of the festivities.

Brian Diemer Run 2010

This past Saturday, Brian and I ran the Brian Diemer 5K.  My dad walked the race.  It was a hot and humid morning, but we all did very well on the race.  Here's our results:

Brian - 24:04
Beth - 30:58
Dad - 44:59

Whitecaps Game - Memorial Day 2010

On Monday, we went to a Whitecaps game with my family that was both a Mother's Day and Father's Day gift for my parents.  It had stormed in the morning, but the late morning and early afternoon turned nice and very hot!  The game was at 1:00 and we made it 3 1/2 innings until it started to downpour about 2:00.  We all ended up in the upper concourse by the food to wait out the rain and see if they decided to cancel the game.  We ended up waiting about 1 1/2 hours before they finally decided to cancel the game.  It was raining very hard, hailing, and thundering and lightning quite a bit.  There was a ton of water on the field, but we were impressed with the drains they had in the outfield to take care of it all without ruining the field.  Since enough of the game wasn't finished, we got to turn our tickets in for new ones and now are going again on my birthday, July 23.  Here's some pictures of the game.

Indianapolis - Memorial Day 2010

This past weekend we spent a few days in Indianapolis for my cousin's graduation open house.  We left Saturday morning and got to my Uncle Todd and Aunt Dawn's house shortly after lunch.  In the afternoon we headed to the open house and ate some good food and played some rousing games of Cornhole.  After the open house, we went to get ice cream and played some games (Brian played Nerf Wars with my cousins, Michael and Matthew!).  Sunday we went to church and then my Uncle Steve, Aunt Diane, and cousin Rachel came over for the lunch.  After lunch we headed to GR (see the next post for pictures from there).  Here's a slide show of pictures I took in Indianapolis.  I have a pet vicariously through these relatives, so there are lots of animal pictures.  :)
