Take Me Out to the Ball Game
Saturday night we decided to do something fun since we spent most of the day cleaning and running errands. Heath had gotten tickets to the Dust Devils, our minor league baseball team. It was a beautiful night for baseball. A friend from Hayden's class, Parker, got to throw out the first pitch, Hayden was in awe. The crowd was small because, well, its minor league. It was also the last night of the Benton Franklin Fair, so that probably helped keep the crowds down. The stadium is general seating, so we just found an empty row for the kids to wiggle. Sage climbed all over the rows around us. Hayden quickly made a new friend, his name was Bill. Him and his wife, Lori are big Dust devil fans and go often. Hayden climbed up next to Bill and spent most of the game visiting with him. (Bill is the guy in the FDNY hat in the picture). What a great time Hayden had yelling at the umpire and cheering on the team. It was quite funny. We had soda, licorice, and popcorn to snack on and when the game finally ended at 10:30 pm, there was a great fireworks show which might have been a tad loud for Hayden. Sage found it comforting and snuggled up to me. The dust devils led from the first inning but let Spokane score a few runs in the ninth to win! Bummer.

Yeah, Bill looks like the type of guy I would send my kid with too :)
Well, his wife kept getting up to go smoke, he needed someone to keep him company!
