At 5:55 tonight, as we had the barbeque firing up for grilling our dinner, I was talking on the phone to my cousin Laura telling her of the much anticipated quiet night we had planned, including our Family Meeting and Family Fun Night. Much to my surprise, she offered us a new plan for the night, offering us tickets to go to the Arizona Diamondback’s opening game against the LA Dodgers that started at 6:40. By 6PM our Party of Five was in the van on a mission… heading to her house to pick up the tickets and parking pass, (not even changing into red to cheer for our team…oops). God was so good to us, we didn’t hit the normal rush-hour, sport’s traffic, nor have complications in finding parking and were in our seats by 7…just after the first inning. This was the kids’ first time at a professional baseball game and they were amazed at the substantial crowd of spectators over 49,057! Our night was fantastic, as we cheered on our home team to victory, 9 to 3 with the roof open at the stadium, enjoying the wonderful weather as well! Baylee, Nathan, and Owen loved watching the fireworks with each homerun and asked, “Can we put that in our Family Fun box as a choice another time soon?”
Thank you Kasey and Laura! You made our Monday Family night even more special than we thought it would be. You guys are so generous. We love you.
Go Diamondbacks…let’s have a super season.
