Day 90 - 7/9/07

We went to a baseball game yesterday as part of my sister's birthday. One of the first things that Haleigh wanted to do was get her face painted. So her dad took her to have it done. The artist did a great job, but I am always amazed when I see face paint so close to a child's eyes.

Plus it was quite hot and humid and the paint never fully dried, so every time she touched her face it smeared a little. Top that off with her getting upset enough to cry a few times, and by the time we left this butterfly wasn't nearly so fancy.

Day 34 - 5/14/07

Well, I did it. I managed to incorporate this week's theme (liquid) into what I had already planned for today (baseball).

There is a new minor league team in the next town over. This is their first season in town, and today we went to our first game there. We had a really good time. We commented that it's possible that the minor league games are more fun to attend than the major league games, because there is a lot more action and a lot more to notice and pay attention to. Plus, it gives us a chance to speculate on who will move on and who will probably stay at this level.

Sadly, our team lost 4-5.

Today's photos were taken before the game, while they were watering the dirt to keep the dust down. Aside from cropping, these are all SOOC.

I love this one - it looks as if the guy with the hose is aiming for the player squatting in shallow right field.

Another shot of the watering near second base.
