The Best Day Ever!

Ever since my Friend Sarah told me about the Water Stairs down town I have been dying to take the girls there to play. Josh and I decided that yesterday was the day; and to make the most of the $10 event day parking, we would do something for every one and go to a ball game and concert too.The girls had a blast at the Water Stairs, they waded, splashed, tried to float in the nearly 1 foot of water. Mia practiced her Model Poses, and McKinlee had a blast climbing the water cascading stairs. I can't believe we haven't been coming her for the past 5 1/2 years that we have lived here! After the Water Steps we stopped at McFadden's for a quick bite to eat, then we went to the Pirate/Padre's game. Steve Miller sang the Star Spangled Banner and threw the first pitch...

AWESOME! Other than a few innings that destroyed the Pirates it was a pretty good game, much better than the score 8 to 2 would lead one to believe. There was a rain delay during the 8th inning, it brought some much needed cooling relief (the temp was 100 with 70% humidity) After the game ended the "real" reason we spent an entire afternoon/evening in that kind of weather began the STEVE MILLER BAND concert! It may make me sound old, but there is nothing like watching a great band play and sing classic songs, even if they are in their 60's. Then the rain came back, the event staff tried to get Steve Miller stop the concert but he refused, he said as long as the fans were there he was going to play...that is until the lightening started...then he didn't have a choice. We gathered our thing and walked back to our car in the rain. The girls loved it. We got home around 1am soaked to the bone and smiling ear to ear. There is nothing like making memories that everyone loved equally.
