Redsfest.

Tonight, we went over to Duke Energy Convention Center to check out this year’s Redsfest…

Everyone in attendance got one of these great Reds drawstring backpacks and a Reds stocking cap…

Tucker Barnhart…

The Kids Only Interview with Tucker Barnhart, Zack Cozart and Homer Bailey led to some pretty funny questions and answers…

We spotted @DatDudeBP, Brandon Phillips…

We checked out the kids area Fun Zone on the third floor…

And then moved down to the Season Ticket Member Ultra Lounge on the second floor…

And while we were hanging out, 2015 Home Run Derby champ Todd Frazier showed up for a Q&A…

Back down to the main floor…

And then back up to the Season Ticket Member Ultra Lounge…

Where we stumbled into another Q&A with a couple of Reds prospects…

Marty Brennaman was leading the Q&A…

On the way out, we ran into Santa…

It was another pretty awesome Redsfest! Afterwards, we stopped into Red Roost Tavern, and tried the Ballast Point Habanero Sculpin. That’s one spicy beer…

It was a great Friday! Click to see all the photos I took at Redsfest 2015. 🙂

Pause for paws.

Oscar was all wrapped up in the blankets on the bed when I left for work this morning…

I betcha he went right back to sleep after I left. Hope you had a good Wednesday. 🙂

Cyclones hockey game #6.

Tonight, we went to our sixth Cyclones hockey game of the season!

PUCKCHOP!

There weren’t very many people at US Bank Arena for hockey on a Tuesday night…

At the end of the first period, there was no score…

Going into the third period, the Cyclones were trailing 0-1…

And our Instagram photo made the US Bank Arena Jumbotron again!

TIE GAME!

Twister was less than thrilled with some of the officiating…

EXTRA HOCKEY!

Time for five minutes of three-on-three sudden death hockey!

Onto shoot-outs! Extra, extra hockey!

And the Cyclones lost 2-1 in the shoot-out. 😦

#TBT Pause for paws.

The bud dog used to love laying on the bed and laying in the sun. Sometimes he got to do both at the same time. 🙂

Weekend projects.

I got the plastic window insulation up on most of our windows this weekend before it became too cold outside and got really drafty inside our home…

It’s pretty crazy just how much difference a thin sheet of plastic over your windows can make in the comfortability inside…

Oscar did a very good job of supervising…

A lot of the lights in our bedroom had burned out. So I rehung new strings of decorative lights…

Oscar showed less interest in this activity but was on-hand to approve the final product…

And finally, we tested Christmas lights for our little Christmas tree and replaced some bulbs and fuses…

And once again, Oscar supervised. He’s a helper. 🙂

Redfest tickets!

We received two complimentary tickets to next weekend’s Redsfest at Duke Energy Center in the mail today from our beloved Cincinnati Reds…

Thanks Reds! Last season was a season of Reds baseball for the ages. We thoroughly enjoyed each and every game we attended. And we had an absolute blast at last year’s Redfest! But with all the trade rumors swirling around, we’re going to wait and see what happens with two of our favorite Reds, Aroldis Chapman and Brandon Phillips before we’ll be making any final decisions on whether or not we’ll be back as season ticket holders again next season. But we were definitely planning on attending Redfest! Thanks again for the free 2-day passes! 🙂

Seen & noted: BRU Burger Bar.

It looks like they’re getting really close to opening BRU Burger Bar at the corner of Walnut and Sixth Streets…

It’s always exciting when a new place is about to open in downtown Cincinnati’s Central Business District! 🙂

UPDATE: BRU has their sign up and open for business on Monday, December 7th…

I know where we’ll be on Monday! 🙂

Light Up the Square.

We headed over to Fountain Square this evening for the annual Light Up the Square…

We got over to the Square right as the fireworks were starting…

Every year it seems like they try to cram more and more stuff around the ice rink on the Square, and there is less and less space to get a good view of stuff like Light Up the Square…
