Entry 560: Sitting In The Rain

Saturday we had tickets for the Royals and Angels game and it was a game we won't soon forget.  It was a 1:10 game, so Julie decided that we needed to get there early because they were giving away a James Shield bobblehead to the first 10,000 people.  Julie is a big fan of giveaways, so we got there at 11:00 and the line was already huge.  Julie, who has incredible luck, was walking towards the end of the line when two younger boys asked her if she would like to stand with them.  Julie of course said yes and instead of being at the end of the line, she was at the front of the line.  Like I said earlier, she has incredible luck.  The family was extremely nice and Julie was in heaven because she was assured of her bobblehead.

We didn't have tickets for this game, so we went online and bought some tickets.  We used to sit out in the fountains all the time, but we haven't done that for years and we decided to buy some tickets out there.  Little did we know that the seats we had were the only ones in the row, which means that there was no one sitting in front of us or even behind us.  They were great seats and as you will see from the pictures below, Lance was able to put his feet up and stretch out the entire game.

The weather forecasters had been predicting rain for the game, so we were smart and brought our umbrella in with us.  In the beginning the weather was gorgeous with a little bit of sun and wind.  By the time the game started though it began looking quite ominous.  By the time the game was in the second inning it began pouring down rain and as everyone ran for cover, we put our umbrella up and were staying dry.  About 30 minutes into the delay we decided that we had enough and left because it looked like the game was not going to continue for quite some time.  It was a good thing we left because the game started up again 4 hours later.  That would have been terrible if we stayed.
