Sky Sox

The night before Mother's Day, I took the girls to a Sky Sox game.  It was Military Appreciation night.  Dan and Shar had picked up tickets for all of us, just like last year.  We got there early and found our seats.  I picked up a pizza from the Domino's booth for us for dinner.  The weather was a bit chilly, but the sun was shining when we got there, so it wasn't too bad.  Over halfway through, though, it started to downpour.  We quickly got our blanket that we were sitting on over top of us.  Dan had an umbrella, but of course we couldn't all get under it.  We were trying to keep the babies dry mostly.  Then Jeff gave us an extra towel they had, so I just put that over me and Baby Girl.  Luckily at this point, she was asleep for the night and slept right through it all.  We stuck it out and it stopped.  Then it started again for just a bit and then cleared up.  We sent Dan with some of the kids to go buy hot chocolate.  That helped warm us up a bit.  It all ended with the fireworks!  Apparently Minnie doesn't like fireworks.  Tink said she had been even more scared last year. I do remember her sitting in PC's lap, but had forgotten until Tink mentioned it.  She did pretty well this year, but her eyes were as big as saucers.  I was glad we got to see fireworks, though, since we probably won't get to see them for the 4th of July.  They just lifted the ban last night for commercial fireworks in town because we have had a lot of rain this past week, but I doubt we will go anywhere to see them.  They cancelled the ones they had planned to do at our neighborhood community celebration.
