Yup…that’s how hot it’s been around here…but did that keep us inside and out of the heat?

WELL…most of the time but there were two days that we crazy right on up and spent some time at the ballpark…

First day was July 4th…11:05 start so figuring…how hot can it be that early…well let me tell you (see above picture)

This picture was right after we sat down in our seats…you will not see a picture of me after the 5th inning when I went inside for the a/c…or a picture of me after going back out and heading back in after the end of the 6th. We kept drinking water but by the end of the game we were all inside and done for…what were we thinking?

Oh….let me tell you what we were thinking…we were thinking…that heat was so much fun…let’s do it again on Sunday for a 1:35 start time…

See…start of the game…

Gang was all there…

We had great seats…and we even managed to stay out in the heat till 6th inning…we all decided to head in and finish up the game inside. Well once the other team went on a scoring binge we decided we had enough…top of the 8th found us heading to the car. In all the years we’ve been going to the ballpark this is the first time…EVER…that we left before the end of the game. One year we went to a spring game…it was freezing and we stayed through 4 or 5 extra innings…we couldn’t feel out toes but we hung in there. The four of us decided that we would rather sit in the cold, with layers on, then in the heat…

Looks like we’ll have another week of extreme temps so another week of dashing from house to car if we have to go out…but I’ll keep trips outside to a minimum…even the dogs are feeling it and hanging in the basement with me most of the time.

So…if you need me…I’ll be down here in the basement, listening to music, reading on the computer, writing and trying to stay cool…
