Fantastic Fireworks

Dear Diary,

Grandpa, Bill, Arick and I went to the Renegades game at Dutchess Stadium on July 3. The tickets are very affordable for anyone looking for something to do with the family. If you look at the schedule you can see what nights they do fireworks. There is also a Rascal's kids club!

The endgame fireworks were FANTASTIC!

Arick and I were distracted easily by everything. First Arick was doing the bouncy rides. Then we were aggravated by my mis-placing our money to spend. Arick had fried dough and we all had hotdogs. Grandpa and Bill had beer. Finally we were settled and watching the game. We saw a double play! There were several attempts to steal bases by the Renegades players but they mostly were picked off. We had t-shirts and cotton candy fired at us (the crowd) and they had a bouncing lottery ball game. One of several numbered balls were bounced around randomly until the music stopped. Whoever had that ball won something. We didn't win. A friendly person in the crowd had a small beach ball that he inflated and that was tossed around in just our section. This became quite entertaining and started to draw other children. It became such a distraction I started to wonder if the players were affected. The ball started to deflate from the abusive swatting but I had sit, click, drive! stickers with me and we used them to block up the busting seams and the ball swtting continued until the fireworks started.

Did I mention that sfter the game there were FANTASTIC FIREWORKS!

In hindsight, I wish I had contacted security earlier to mention that Arick -one of the Sit, Click, Drive! kids was in attendance and ask if he could say to the audience at the end of the game to remember to wear their seatbelt. I am going to remember to do this at our next event.
