The Richmond Flying Squirrels

Stacey left this morning for her annual Twins Club Convention, which occurs every April. This is her 9th time attending this annual tradition where the Mid-Atlantic Twin Club organizations get together for the weekend. Each club within the region hosts and they always end up having a great time. So, with Stacey gone for the weekend, I try to plan out a fun-filled weekend of my own with the kids.

Tonight, I took the kids to the Richmond Flying Squirrels (minor league baseball team) game. We went to the game with the Steimers (Jim, Allie, and Andy) and had a great time. It was a lot of fun to be at the ballpark. The Squirrels do a great job at entertaining the kids. At the end of each inning, they always have some sort of activity going on as the teams switch. For instance, the mascot, Nutzy, will come out on the field, some of the ballpark workers will throw T-shirts in the stands, and sometimes they will bring a group of kids who are having their birthdays. Tonight, before the game started, there was actually a wedding on the field! We only ended up staying until the end of the 8th inning and the Squirrels were leading 2-0. O ur Little "Squirrels"

Jack has a soccer game tomorrow morning. Afterwards, we will head down to Kings Dominion for the day. We may meet up with the Goods and/or Kelly and Keagan, and then possibly hang out with the Huff clan tomorrow night. We'll see how the day unfolds for us, but perhaps we may just end up doing family movie night with a new release if we end up being tired from our day at KD. If the weather holds out on Sunday, I hope to take the kids strawberry picking at a nearby local farm.
