Reading, Baseball, and Freezing
Every year the girls' school is part of a reading incentive program called Ozzie's Reading Club. If the girls read a certain amount of time, they are given a free ticket, t-shirt, and hot dog meal for a Kane County Cougars baseball game (the local minor league, single A, Oakland A's affiliate.) Of course, day after day of warm weather and the night of our game is FREEZING cold. It was a little rainy, very windy and super cold, but since we already had our tickets and the girls were looking forward to going we loaded up the blankets and braved it. After about the 3rd inning, we realized that we would have to be crazy to stay any longer as we were already delirious from the cold:

You know my girls earned tickets to last nights game too - but sadly I never got around to ordering them. They ended up having a Primary activity at the same time anyway. We saw the stadium lights and line of cars as we pulled into the church parking lot and commented on how cold all those people must be. ;-)
ReplyDeleteNow that I'm thinking about it, we should go to a game together this summer!! =)
I could say I wish you had been there, but that would be just mean, it was so cold.
ReplyDeleteWe should definitely do some things together this summer. My girls would love it.
Paige does the best cross-eyed face of anyone I've ever seen. She can always make me laugh.
