Let's play ball!

Can summer be complete without a trip to at least one baseball game?  Sure, but much more fun if it is included.  We only made it to one game this summer, and there was a rain delay, then the game was called because of the rain (and despite getting free tickets to another game we didn't make it) and then there was the small issue of getting home.

It was a great night for a game.

Look how blissfully we were all enjoying the game.  For 3 minutes, maybe.

It had been raining out by our house much longer than it had in town by the time we were leaving the game.  We stopped to have ice cream and hoped the rains would let up.  They didn't.  We did have a friend who was also trying to make it home and so we were getting road reports from him.  The main road to our house had been closed down due to an accident following the races, while dealing with the accident, the road became impassable due to flooding.  It was a mess.  Our friend ended up getting back to town and stayed at a hotel.  We went the long way around and while the roads were still not good, we could pass, by the time we got to them.  The one we needed to get to our house on that route had been closed as well, but had recently opened up again by the time we got there.  Monsoon rains, we've had 2 really good ones this summer, which means it has been hot and humid without the good soaking, cooling rains.
