Day 205: Out to the ball game

It's one...US citizen able to lay full claim to the singing of The Star-Spangled Banner, God Bless America and the like. All taken very seriously - I'm not sure why that seems strange to us, but it does.

...two...umbrellas, unused. It was a night of storms, but they were scattered and, for once, scattered themselves elsewhere.

...three...other families of colleagues that we met up with to watch the home team (The Tri-City Valley Cats) get soundly beaten, but still had a good time.

...strikes...of lightning seen at a distance, but later much outdone by the post-game fireworks - much to Exile #3's delight - she had been so disappointed that we'd missed-out on fireworks on the 4th of July. Exile #4 really enjoyed them too and E5N1 was utterly astonished by the experience.

...you're out...very late. The fireworks started at 10pm, we were sitting in the car trying to get out of the parking lot at 10.40pm - well past the children's bed times.

but all-in-all we had a great time...at the old ball game.
