Bulls game

We went to L's friend Alex B's 4th birthday party at a restaurant across the street from the Durham Bulls Athletic Park and after pizza and cake we walked to the ballpark to take in an afternoon game in the cheap "seats" on the outfield lawn. The clouds were looking ominous but the rain stayed away, and despite a particularly grumpy usher ("Don't lean over the fence! Don't throw that ball! Don't roll down the hill!") we settled in for an enjoyable game. The Bulls' centerfielder threw a ball to Alex after a pre-inning warmup throw-around, and L was wondering if someone would throw one to her. After the seventh inning stretch, Wool E. Bull drove around the field in his mini-car, tossing out Bulls paraphernalia to the crowd, and we went down to the outfield fence to wave to get his attention. It worked, and Lucie as well (good catch, dad) got a ball to take home. It was really nice to be able to walk from our house to the stadium--one of the many reasons we like our neighborhood so.
