Today I got a special treat. Gram and Papa treated Becca B and I to a Diamond Backs baseball game. Becca B has been including a desire to go to a baseball game in her prayers for weeks. Today her prayer was answered.
The D-backs must've known we were coming. They put on a hitting and pitching display for us. They scored 5 runs in the first inning on their way to a 7-0 shut out against the Colorado Rockies. When Gram got tired in the 7th the team obliged by not allowing any more runs during the last two innings. That way we didn't feel like we missed anything. It was a fun game and we were blessed in many ways.
This evening we decided to try out a special treat. The kids were pretty much caught up on homework so we went over to the Inter-Stake Center. They have a room with 2 ping pong and 2 Foosball tables set up. I've been thinking about investing in a ping pong table sometime but wondered at whether the kids have the coordination for it yet. The answer is, not enough to play by the rules exactly but well enough to have fun. We played for about an hour. There were enough ping pong balls in the air that we could have had a call from air traffic control. Still, at the end, the kids wanted to know when we might be able to come again. That sounds like success but I think we'll wait before buying our own.
Yes B included in her prayers "go to a ballgame". after awhile she modified the request "go to a ballgame--my treat". So finally going was a happy thing
ReplyDeleteWe were gifted a "ping pong" net that clamps on a table you already own. It has been a fun way to play without investing in a table. We also got paddles. Perhaps you could find one for your house.
