Dayton Dragons

Over this Memorial Day weekend I was fortunate to have a day off to spend watching the Dayton Dragons play ball.
My aunt was able to get us tickets so we decided on a night and went.
It was a great night to watch baseball, the weather was perfect, and it is a much more family friendlier place than the Reds stadium. We even ran into some of our church family and sat with them for half of the game.

In between every inning there was some type of kid game or contest!
There was this relay race between 2 teams of 5 kids each where they run down and grab a flag and then run back. One little girl sat down on her second time because she was tired...kids!! haha
Ben and I even had the chance to participate in a relay game for row 11 in the stadium. Basically we passed a "surprise" item, which turned out to be a Santa Claus balloon, as fast as we could to home plate. They really tried to get their fans involved and keep the kids entertained.

Relay Fun!

Ben even caught a t-shirt that the emcee's where throwing out!

He is so handsome!

The only bad part about the night was two pigeons that were sitting on a wire right above our seats. Ben reached over his shoulder and found a poopy mess on his jacket. We cleaned it up and a half hour later he got hit again, we then decided it was time to move down a couple seats.
I really had a great time and it was nice to do something fun with the family. Toward the end of the game the moon started rising and it happened to be a full moon that night! It was so big in the sky, I don't know which was more exciting, watching the game or having a perfect view of the full moon.
