Play Ball

One of the biggest secrets of the Archibalds is that we love baseball. I mean love it! During summer we like to go out to the green belt and play it with the girls, and we love going to the games. It was only a couple of years ago when the girls went to their first game that they tried to understand what was going on. Duane loves the Dodgers...the girls and I love the A's, but now in our new home we all unite and are Rockie's fans.

This year Duane was going to take me to opening day since I have never experienced the first game of the season. However since the Rockies became National Champions last year not only was the game sold out but it was mandatory to buy not only the Opening Day game but game two too - something totally out of our budget. We have a camp up on the Rocky Mountains that we have been part of. We do family camp there, Duane has gone to the men's retreat there and the 5th graders have a leadership retreat there. Part of there fund raiser is to work a couple of Rockies game by passing out the promotional items. Duane and I were able to help on Opening Day..thus we got to get into the game!
It was a sad game...the Rockies didn't do well at all. But we had a great day sitting in the warm sun welcoming in our favorite sport.
