Can we PLEASE go home now?!?

That is what we where saying sitting in rain, soaking wet, watching a baseball game, freezing cold, on Easter Sunday. You're probably thinking "What is she talking about?", so here's the story.

A couple of weeks ago my "Brilliant" Dad was on the SF Giants web site, trying to get some tickets for a game. Well why he was looking for his tickets, he saw some tickets for a game on April 4. The tickets where REALLY cheep, so him and Mama talked a decided that they would buy tickets for the whole family (including Shyloh and Jeff) and it would be a fun family day. The whole family was pretty excited about the game...until... Jeff called Daddy and asked if he knew the game was on Easter Sunday? Yeah, well, that about busted our bubble, cause you see, we DIDN'T know that. Well Daddy tried to cancel the tickets, but it wouldn't let him. So everyone talked about it, and we all decided that we would invite Aunt Lynette, Uncle Micah, and Grammy and just try to make the best out of it. Well Aunt Lynette, Uncle Micah, and Grammy wanted to come so daddy bought them tickets also.

A couple days before Easter, Daddy found out that it might rain, yeah, you read right, RAIN! And to make matters worse it was going to be COLD! Well we all just tried to think positive about it and look on the bright side and just think about the fun we would have. WAIT A SECOND, HOLD EVERYTHING, PAUSE!!! What was the bright side?!? Oh, yeah, that's right, there was no bright side! Oh, well, you get the point.

Sunday crept along and we all got up early and got ready, packed our lunches and snacks and waited for Shyloh, Jeff, Uncle Micah, Aunt Lynette, and Grammy to be ready.

Last year Mama made baseball shirts for everyone with our names on it, so she did it again this year. She started making them early this year, so they would done in time for Easter Sunday to wear to the game. We all wore our shirts to game thinking, "maybe we would get on TV". We left late and got there late unfortunately. When we got out of the car it was FREEZING. So we all ended up putting sweaters over our shirts, which was really a bummer, we where all excited about our shirts. As we were walking in it started to rain, thank goodness Shyloh and Jeff had bought us all ponchos to keep dry, but they didn't exactly work for me, i still got SOAKED! And to make matters worse my "Brilliant" Dad had bought us seats right in the RAIN. So that is were I started the story, with Shyloh, Poppet and Me yelling ..."Can we PLEASE go home now?!?". We ended up leaving right as they called the game because of rain. YES, ON OUR WAY HOME!!! Anyhow, besides that it was a great day. So HAPPY LATE EASTER EVERYBODY!
