Erica's #46 - Go to a Baseball Game

Ahh, baseball - America's pastime.  Indianapolis boasts it's own AAA baseball team - the Indianapolis Indians - and the games are really a blast.  We tend to make it to at least a couple every summer.  Tickets are affordable (even for the "good" seats), and I'm not sure either of us would want to experience a summer without that quintessential American feeling you get when sitting in those stadium seats on a warm evening, sipping a frosty brew, and nibbling on something wholly unhealthy but delicious, all while watching some high-caliber players challenge each other at a sport that some would term America's "national game".

Woofs and Books, the non-profit I'm on the board of, purchased some tickets for volunteers to attend this game - it was "Bark in the Park" day, where you are welcome to bring your favorite furry four-legged pals to the game with you!  We left our boys at home - it was too hot for them to enjoy themselves, and seeing as Rudy has a torn ACL and Louie looked like Frankendog with his stitches in the cut he'd managed to get while horsing around in the backyard, they could use R&R rather than fun with dog pals.  It was great to see all of the pups out with their families enjoying the day though!

My parents were also in town, so we drug them out in the heat for some baseball-watching fun.  We indulged in a small share of mostly healthy foods from the ballpark, soaked up the sun (until we were melting and moved into the shade!), and had a great time with them!
