Baseball, Shaved Ice, and Dancing in 100+ Degree Heat
We went to a minor league baseball game on Friday with a group from our church. It was a great time despite several conditions that could have made it not so great. The most obvious of these was that the high temperature on this day was around 102 degrees. Actually, it could have been worse, on Sunday it got up to 110. We brought our own supply of bottled water to make sure all of us stayed hydrated. We also gave in to the enticing shaved ice they were selling. Of course, I had to go stand in line during the game to purchase these refreshments, and of course it was a long line, and of course I didn't realize until I got up there that it would cost me $4 apiece, and of course I missed three runs the home team scored. I did get to see the replay of what I missed on the news that night so no big deal. There were also 5 more runs including a homerun that were made in later innings that I did get to see.
While standing in the long line, I was accompanied by my 3 year old daughter. I asked her if she was enjoying the game. She said yes. I asked her what she enjoyed most, again referring to the baseball game. She said dancing to the music which they were playing in between innings. Yes my wife and I are a little scared. At only age 3, our daughter has pretty good rhythm and has some dance moves of which most teens would be jealous. Right now it is pretty innocent and fun.
Another condition that could have been good or bad depending on your viewpoint was where we were sitting. We saw some friends and their kids came and sat next to our kids. We thought it was only going to be to say hi but they stayed for almost the whole game. They actually behaved pretty well, but watching other people's kids wasn't what we had in mind. Also, I ended up sitting right next to our pastor. Some would have seen this as a great opportunity. I just saw it as a situation where I had to be nervous the whole time. It ended up going pretty well as he is a great guy and it was relaxed and we had some good general conversation.
My son probably had the best time. He got a free hat they were giving away and he got it autographed by the team's mascot. He got to spend time with the friends that sat with us and he enjoyed watching a great baseball game. He also got to stay up way past his bed time.
All in all, a fun time of baseball, shaved ice, and dancing in 100+ degree heat.

Shaved ice is the best. Yummy. I like watermelon and green apple flavour.
I have started a new project and I am wondering if you would like to be apart of it. Basically I want to collect postcards from people all over the world . I'm calling it Postcard Exchange (I've posted it on my blog if you want to read more about it) as I offer to send a postcard of Australia to anyone who will send me a postcard from their location. Are you interested? I hope you are as it's doubly cool to get a postcard from a familiar blogger.
Well let me know and I'll send you my address.

Nothing like a great baseball game. For my next summer get together with my buddies, we're thinking about going to Chicago just to catch some baseball. I hope the temperatures are a bit cooler, though.
