The grandkids signed on the library summer reading program.

They read a lot. Much more than minimum.

So they got a prize.

Then a couple of weeks ago, a letter to come in for another prize.

Among howls of, "I am on the video game" and "No, I want to sleep" I drug them to the library.

Hugh box of prizes, select one each. So Briall digs and finds 2 tickets to the San Francisco Giants game. Takes one and talks Mo into taking the other.

She wants to go. I suspect Mo is just "playing for a deal". We get home and then the negotiations begin.

Mo gets lunch downtown and a day at the Zeum (a really hot kids hands on museum).

Briall gets me, a bleacher seat (450 feet from home plate), seagulls using us as a target range and 1200 screaming fans whose one goal seemed to be deafness at an early age.

The Giants lost to the Houston Astros.

We got home at 11:15 on a school night.

Yee Gads!!! $5.50 for an icecream cone! Cotton candy $5.00!

All in all a great time.

Holy crap. We pay like 50c (ZAR) for an ice cream here. www.xe.com for a conversion :P

Sounds like you guys had a grand time ed. I'm not for sports but it's a good thing to do when you get the chance.

Nite I reckon at a rugby game or something yu'd pay allot more than that... all our stuff pretty much doubles in price once you enter something like a rugby game where you are a "captive audience" so to speak.
