Pete pulled some strings at work and was able to use the company suite at John O'Donnell Stadium on Tuesday night. It was a hot and steamy night, so staying in the cool confines of the suite made for a fun night. The suite was stocked with a 12 pack of beer and pop, we ordered burgers from the kitchen and went down to the concourse for ice cream cones.
Riley was busy moving from the outdoor seats to the cozy indoors, where she played on the couch and the floor with her toys. Everyone kept an eye on the Cubs score on the TV in the suite. Even uncle Jaime joined us for the night!
The highlight of the game happened about an hour in, when a Dayton Dragon was called out, looking at strike 3. The player didn't like the call, argued and was ejected by the umpire. Then the 3 rd base coach got ejected after arguing with the ump and proceeded to kick dirt on the ump's shoes, then covered home plate with dirt. It was funny.
The humidity of the night brought some rain showers and lighting to the area, the game was called in the 8th inning, it was quite a lighting storm and it rained very hard. Unfortunately the kids didn't get to play on the blow up jumpy things, by the time we got around to that, the staff at the stadium was taking them down, getting ready for the bad weather coming. At least for 1 night we all felt like very important people!
