The highlight of the game (and we're still counting...)

We had a fun time at the game (despite the Mets!). The stadium is beautiful and it was a perfect, crisp, clear night for a game.

Somehow the crazies always find us and it was no different Saturday. The local trailer park association must have given away a set of tickets at their last "Drink and Belch" contest. I won't get into details except to say that one of the younger women was willing to get into a fight with Sparky and I am sure she could have taken him!

The boys were excited to get a batting practice ball. It's one of David Wright's hits. Oliver Perez reached up and handed it to them. Good thing we got that because the Mets did not realize it was my birthday and that they were supposed to clinch.

No problem, we thought. They'll just do it on Sunday for our Anniversary. (Yes, we got married the day after my birthday.) But no...damn Mets aren't getting the message. We were ready. We had pizza, and beer, and cake.

Tonight guys, ok? Or we are going to have a long talk and you are going to have to go to your rooms and think about what you have done.

Otherwise, we had a great weekend. Sparky came through with the stressfree birthday/anniversary. The kids were great for the 10 hour round trip ride. Pittsburgh is very cool and we wish we had more time there. And my family and friends came over to hang out, eat cake and sit around the fire for a bit last night for my birthday.

So, a good weekend, despite the Mets. And the magic number is still one......
