In other news, waffles are delicious. 🙂

“Good morning,” said the little bird just outside our window.

We went down to the ballpark to take in our seventh Reds game of the season. And it was a perfect afternoon for baseball. Just perfect. And the DirecTV Blimp was hovering high above Cincinnati again…
It was the final game of the series between the Reds and the Seattle Mariners. So why wouldn’t there be a big pail of glow-in-the-dark light sabers and T-Rex dinosaur swords outside of GABP for a day game? And no. I did not buy one. I didn’t have any cash.
The DirecTV Blimp was overhead almost the entire game…





I remember when my parents used to take us to Cubs games, one of the free giveaways we got more than once were Cubs painter hats. I hadn’t thought about or seen a baseball painter hat in years. I wonder if our Cubs hats are still at my parents house in Michigan?
The Mariner’s Robinson Cano…
And he ended up on third…
Votto might be struggling right now. But I still get a tingle when he steps to the plate…
The Sunday live Reds mascot race…


This one belongs to Mr. Redlegs. He owned today’s race…




The Reds dropped another one. And ended up getting swept by the Mariners.
Oh well. It was a gorgeous day for a baseball game. And we got to see The Gies…
Sundays like this are made for watching baseball, win or lose. 🙂

Last night, Oscar was on the bed surrounded by all his favorite toys…
This morning we took him to get his haircut…
We always take him to Wags-N-Whiskers across the river…
And when we picked him up, he was so happy and looked so handsome…

Friday night is pretty much always pizza night in our house. And this Friday was special because it was National Pizza Party Day!

Thanks, LaRosa’s for turning our Friday night into a pizza party! 🍕🍕🍕

Tonight, Genifer and I went to see our sixth game of this Reds season. They were playing the Cleveland Indians in the final game of the battle for the Ohio Cup. The Reds got destroyed the first two games up in Cleveland, getting outscored 28-7. And they lost last night 8-7 in 12 innings. We were thinking that we’d just skip this series and go to the game on Sunday against the Mariners until Allison called to see if we’d like to use her family’s season tickets. And we jumped at the opportunity to sit in the second row, directly behind the Indians dugout. It’s been a while since we’ve sat in those seats. And both times were to see the Cubbies play…
Tim Adleman had to leave the game early…
Joey Votto went yard…
There was a really big, almost full moon tonight…
The Reds ended getting swept by the Indians in the four-game Battle for the Ohio Cup…




Win or lose. It’s always fun to go hang out at the ballpark. Especially in those seats!
Thanks again, Allison! 🙂
