It was a quick trip, but every bit of it was great. Bates and Cooper (the dogs) made me feel so loved. Bates followed me all over the house even to the point of sitting watch as I packed up to go. I think I might need to bring him back home with me on one of these trips. We had time to squeeze in a quick card game which Jerry and Joanna might regret since I beat them so soundly. Joanna and I got to catch up on the way to Denver. We had one of the best talks we have had in a long time. We talked about things that have happened in the past that we both are better able to understand now. I love my sister with all my heart, but even with that when we do anything together there is usually a point when we get frustrated with each other and start arguing. This didn't happen once this weekend! We shared some things from our hearts. I loved that as much as going to the game!
On to the other fun stuff! We spent quite a while just walking around taking pictures, and shopping. OK, I spent a lot of time (and money) shopping to be honest. I love being in ballparks. I love the atmosphere, the excitement(of the playoffs), seeing little kids with their glove and decked out in their team gear (oh, wait that's me!). Everybody's just having a good time (well, minus one moron - we'll get to him later). Our seats might not have been the best, but we really had a good view of the whole field and could definitely tell balls and strikes (sometimes better than the ump - jk).
The pregame show was moving - they had to measure to make sure they stood in the right place for the flag to fit, that's how big it was. Heroes from Iraq were there to throw out the first pitch.
Then it all started! Even though the Rockies lost, they still gave us something to cheer about. I tried to capture the place going crazy after Holliday's 3run homer, but I just couldn't do it, so instead I captured my sister going crazy!
As for the moron, well, he was a gutless wonder! He was rooting for Boston (not a problem in and of itself) and he wanted to heckle Colorado fans (often happens among competitive fans - again not a problem). He, however didn't have the guts to heckle someone in his own section, instead from the 3rd level he yells down at us (a level below and with no walkway connecting us)! Seriously, common, if you're going to heckle have some guts and don't yell only at the people who can't get to you! (He was nowhere to be seen after Holliday's HR.) I had a blast and I am so glad I got to share it with my sister. By the way, for all of you girls who can't find anything to like about baseball (if you got this far) -first, let me say - the players!, second, let me just say, I got to sit next to a hottie that was nice in the bargain (I only elbowed him about 20 times in my excitement, so he probably didn't like sitting next to me as much as I liked sitting next to him.), third, while crammed in the train so that I couldn't move I was forced to stare at another handsome man (seeing as how I couldn't move and all). Back to reality until my next spontaneous adventure.
