4th of July weekend

This weekend was a bevy of whirlwind activity. Poor Vincent worked 2 double shifts back to back so we did not see him for two days, but he is now on shutdown for 2 weeks. After he got some rest on Saturday we had the annual Gonzales picnic. We had the grill going and ball games galore. Around 8:30 p.m. we took it back to Gonzales acres and had a bonfire and set off fireworks. After fireworks we had smores and turned in around 2 a.m. On Sunday we went to church (obviously) and then off to look at cars for Nicholas in Toledo. We stopped at the mall and went out to dinner. Afterwards we went to the Toledo Mudhens game. If you have never been, I highly suggest it. It is a great family event and seats are $8. Yeah the things at the park are a lil pricey but not too bad. We also found free parking which helped. We just had to do a baseball game over 4th of July weekend cause that is soooo American!
The game went into extra innings since there was no score after the ninth inning. In the 10th inning score was 1-1 and the Mudhens won it in the bottom of the 11th inning. We played Richmond Braves and we saw an agitated coach argue with an ump. One of the Mudhen players got hit in the face with a ball being pitched, and we saw extra innings of real edge of your seat baseball excitement. After the game the kids got to run the bases and then there were fireworks. It was a great evening. The weather was perfect too!
