There’s just nothing like a cake from Boonzaaijer Bakery in Kalamazoo, Michigan.

We walked down to Lytle Park to watch the WEBN Riverfest Labor Day fireworks…

</a















































It was a pretty incredible display. But afterwoards, the traffic downtown was just silly…



It’s another one of the instances that I’m happy we live downtown. 🙂

We wandered through Riverfest this afternoon just after they dumped all those rubber ducks
into the Ohio River for the Rubber Duck Regatta…



Check out all these DeLorean’s…










And the Ghostbuster’s car was there too…






They were trying to corral all those rubber ducks…






Look at all those rubber ducks…



The boats were already lining up tonight’s fireworks…


I couldn’t imagine hanging out all day at Yeatman’s Cove waiting for tonight’s fireworks.

Genifer brought home these beautiful flowers from a baby shower..




🙂

Another exciting season of Michigan football kicked off today!

#GoBLUE!

Tonight, we went back to GABP for our third game in four days. Red versus Cubs, part two.


Mat latos was toeing the rubber for the Reds…




Cubs starter, Jacob Turner lasted just 3.2 innings after giving up 6 runs on 7 hits…

We were hoping for Brian Schlitter…

But no such luck. Because then the game could go right down the Schlitter for the Cubs.

Billy Hamilton stole his 50th base of the season…


The Reds hug 4 on the Cubs in the fourth…

Cubs’ phenom Javier Baez…


The previous play is under review…



DOH! The Reds Brewery District as seen from the upper deck…

In his MLB debut, the Cubs’ Jorge Soler went yard in his first at bat…




Oh dear, Jonathan Broxton…

He’s the new JJ Hoover. But could we possibly get free pizza two nights in a row?

Chappie…


Yep.




Latos was looking kinda pissy in the Reds dugout…



And then Heisey went yard to give the Reds a two run lead…


Chappie…















It’s always a great night at the ballpark when the Reds win! 🙂

Deskey was issued an ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. And we completed our challenge today…



And the ice water was going to be dumped from the third floor of our building…



Here’s another view. I can’t you how happy I am that I got to shoot video of this event. 🙂

My parents came into town this evening to go the Reds-cubs game with us. Before the
game, we devoured some delicious Pizza King pizza, and then headed down to the game.
On our way, we got caught in a torrential rainstorm. We made it into the ballpark and
checked out the Reds Brewery District…



But $13 for a beer was too rich for our blood. We stopped into one of the little shops along
the main concourse to check out their beer selection…

Look at those cute Reds bears…


We stopped by the Fox Sports Ohio Condominium during the rain delay…



And after about an hour delay, the tarp came off the field…

The skies looked clear as we headed to our seats…


Cubs phenom, Javier Baez…






And the Cubs, All-Star first baseman, Anthony Rizzo, who homered as we were dodging
the raindrops to get inside GABP…


Sam LeCure came on to relieve Johnny Baseball…


We were dangerously close to more free pizza…


Yep…






Daniel Corcino was making his MLB debut…





And he went one-two-three.

Welcome to the bigs, Daniel Corcino!




And even though the Reds lost, it was great to see a game with my parents…





Another great night at the ballpark! 🙂

They have indeed started disassembling the tower crane at Seven at Broadway…



And then it was gone…

😦

Check out the traffic trying to get out of downtown after the fireworks…


Just silly.
