Baseball, Buck Night and Beautiful Skies

Sam wanted Royals tickets for one of his birthday presents from Grandma and Grandpa.  Somehow the spring and summer got away from us and we still had not made it to a game.  So Friday night we headed out to Kauffman for the game which was also buck night and free fireworks Friday.  The game started out great!  The Royals hit two home runs in the first inning and with a score of 3-0 we thought we might get to see a great victory.  We scored three more runs in the second inning and thought for sure we would win.  Unfortunately, the Nationals came back and even pulled ahead in a disastrous fourth inning.  While the Royals tried to rally at the end they would end up losing 10-11. Luckily, there were other positives to the game.  It was buck night so hot dogs, Pepsi products and peanuts were only $1.  Sam managed to eat three hot dogs during the game.  It was also fireworks Friday.  The fireworks display is always a great show and lasts a good length of time.  So despite the loss the evening ended with some great entertainment.
