Baseball in Utah = Bees

We went to our first semi-pro baseball game this last week. We were able to experience almost every different joy baseball provides. We had a rain delay, bases loaded (no grand slam home-run, though), full count, kettle corn, cotton candy, someone I know catching a foul ball, running into family and my OBGYN and a double rainbow. It really was a fun, frugal outing. We were able to get tickets for $5 each, Judson was free. Since baseball's not hugely popular we could sit anywhere we wanted. We joined our friends, the Balony's (huge baseball fans, by the way) and it was a blast. After the first two innings we watched as dark clouds, moving quite quickly came over the field. Just as we noticed the first gust of wind, the worker men were on the field covering it for the rain. The delay lasted about 90 minutes. We just moved up to the top of the stadium and hung out, sang songs, ate junk and danced around. Just having fun.

After the rain delay Darren went out to get nachos. He ran into my brother Paul. He and his family were there (sans Sadie) for his work party. Small world, eh? They came up and sat by us. It was so nice for Judson to have two friends, Hayley and Caleb to play with. He was also excited to see his other cousins, his aunt and uncle and the Balony's. Then Brian caught a foul ball with his bare hand while holding Hayley. That's definitely talent. The Bee's could have used some of those baseball skills. The game went late. We left just after 11pm. Late night for Judson and me and Darren. It was such a fun night at the ballpark, though. We'll definitely do this again. Maybe soon, who knows?
