Freddy's Father's Day present & Dad's Birthday

Our family got my "grandpa" Freddy Dugout seats to a local baseball game.  We did it last year and it always turns out to be a fun night of food, good memories, good laughs, and a great game. It's the perfect way to get all of us together.  We did have a night of food, good memories, good laughs, BUT no game.  It poured down rain and thunderstormed for at least a hour and a half before they called the game. It did not bother any of us though because we were on a covered deck in plush furniture.  We all had the best time even though there was no baseball game.  Fortunately, the still had the fireworks that were supposed to be after the game. They did them a little early but it was still magnificient. 

Here's Kev & Z lounging on the couches.
Zachary and Mommy....I took my glasses off for the pic....I am so sick of them!
Ruey (aka Rue Rue) and her Greats!  She calls her great-grandbabies...GREATS! 
It just so happened that the game was on my dad's actual birthday so the boys thought it was his personal party. Zachary thought the fireworks were specifically for Pops.  Therefore, Zachary now thinks that fireworks should be a part of every birthday party.  . 
Here is a pic of the beautiful rainbow that joined the fireworks. It was truly amazing. It was pouring rain, with fireworks, lightening, and a rainbow.

During the fireworks the Louis Armstrong song, "Wonderful World" came on. I was sitting by my dad and when that song came on he popped up immediately. He said, "Where's Rachel....this is our song."  He found her and started dancing with her right in the dugout. It was so sweet.  That was the song my dad & sis danced to at her wedding.  Oh yeah...Jerrytt danced too.


We all had a great night without a game. Funny thing is we all get to go back and do it again.  They gave us the dugout another night in August so that we can actually see a game.  YIPPEE!
