Last week my Dad and I were able to attend the Northwest and Pioneer League all-star game at Avista stadium, we were excited ever since we decided to go and reserved the tickets. After driver's ed Dad picked me up and we headed the ballpark.
We got our tickets from will call and went to get food. At the stand we ordered a hot dog, two soft drinks and I ordered a corn dog. They vendor at the stand told us we were out, but they were finishing up the next batch. We told her that it was no big deal, so we slid over to wait. I enjoyed watching the people shuffle about and do the pre - ball game activities. After some awkward silence the gentlemen working in between the two cashiers, stared at us for a moment and said " I hope this is the best corn dog you have ever had." Dad and I have been laughing about that for a while it was a great way to handle a awkward moment.
Getting our food we headed to find our seats, on the way there was a clown handing out tickets, like the ones you see at raffles. When asked what the tickets were for the clown replied "Nothing, but it's free!" Now what you must know is that I am deathly afraid of clowns and my plan of action was to politely keep on walking past. However, Dad not knowing I didn't like clowns stopped because he thought it was a funny gag and it was. Later in our a seats when I told him about my weird fear we both were laughing about it and I am glad I stopped and I have the memory of the clown handing out free tickets to nothing at the all-star game.
We got there in time to see the semi - finals and finals for the home run derby, the atmosphere in the stadium was electric as we cheered for the players as they hit the baseballs out of the park. After some pre game announcements the game started and was a close game the whole 10 innings, the game went so late Dad and I weren't home until almost 1 am, The Northwest team won which was the team we were rooting for.
I had a great time that evening not just because I enjoy a entertaining baseball game, but because it was fun to watch people having a good time with family or friends. Those who have been to a multitude of games and those who were seeing it for the first time. I love the whole atmosphere of the ballpark hot dogs, vendors shouting up and down the bleachers, crazy mascots performing stunts on and off the field. Players out on the field doing the thing they love and a town enjoying a american pastime together.
Most importantly I loved spending time with my dad and I am so thankful that ever since I was a little girl he started doing daddy daughter dates with me and I love spending time with him whether it is just him and I or if we are doing something all as a family. I know that these memories are going to last me a lifetime. Any who that is for another post that you can tell I am already working on. Heeehee you have been warned.
