Take Me Out to the Ballgame!

As Valerie and Lance were planning their trip to Utah, we decided that Saturday we would do some family history together, play games, and go to a baseball game.  I have fond memories of watching my dad play and then umpire  softball games and also going with him to a few SF Giant baseball games as a kid.  So I thought it would be fun to go to a Salt Lake Bees game---not the Giants but we still had a fun night.....

We saw hits, doubles, and a triple, a sacrifice fly, several home runs including a grand slam, a steal, a balk (when the bases were loaded), a hit batter, some errors on both sides, a squeeze play, walked in a run, and almost an inside the park home run (the batter didn't see the coach signal to keep running as the fielder had dropped the ball) ,  Lots of fireworks---unfortunately they were mostly done by the other team and the Bees lost 5-12 to Nashville.
The weather was perfect for the game.
 Jena's first semi-pro baseball game.


And they had real fireworks after the game in honor of the military and Memorial Day on Monday.

It was a good time, someone people even had hot dogs to mark the occasion but I went with a burritto and Jena of course chose nachos.
