An American Pastime

On Thursday afternoon, we joined some of the geocachers who have gathered in the area for the Cincinnati Reds baseball game. It was our first time at this ball park.

most of us found shade, immediately

Reds stadium along the Ohio River

'modern' steam boat passed by

stadium has a riverboat theme

seats look out to the river

LOTS of empty seats

fireworks from the 'smoke stacks'

the Reds won 5 to 4 over the Phillies

AND the real bonus...a grand slam by Suarez, a Reds player

what's a ballgame without peanuts???

more statues around the stadium

found a few geocaches before and after the game

and another gathering of geocachers after the game

I bought a T-shirt just for the ballgame

It was a fun experience. Again, we met up some geocaching friends and chatting helps the game move along. It was very warm and humid, so I grabbed some seats in the shade as soon as we arrived in the stands. I am so glad I did, as I would not have survived the afternoon.
