Cincinnati Reds

A few weeks ago we were able to go to a MLB game and go and see the Cincinnati Reds play the Atlanta Braves - I will just spare you the suspense and tell you that the Reds won the game we were at, it was really sweet. While we were en-route to the big game we stopped at a flea market on the way there. I was hoping it would be a really sweet one you see on TV were everyone on HGTV gets super sweet finds and displays it proudly in their home...not the case.

This picture might give you a glimpse at why that was the case

It was basically the craziest, dirtiest disgusting place ever - and all those sweet flea market finds, garbage! But it was a most entertaining experience, and it was just 2 bucks to get in, for both of us, now that is a cheap thrill.

Nathan did manage to find a new friend while he was there though...The game didn't start until later and we had a few hours to kill. Unfortunately it was really hot that day, so we looked for things to do inside, and that led us to an art museum. That's right, I got Nathan to go into an art museum - mark that on your calendar folks. The best part is, he suggested it! Call it what you may, but I think it's love. Anyway, the featuring artist of the museum was Keith Haring, an incredibly famous graffiti style artist. It was pretty interesting for the most part, but we loved the top floor of the museum which was the children's area, which meant that it was interactive and actually fun.

Then came game time. ESPN was there for the pre-game show, if that's what they call it anyway. It was a lot of fun just to see how crazy people act just to get on camera. Here are a few highlights from the game...

Don't forget the famous ball park franks

And of course the reason we all went to the game, to celebrate Nathan's cousin Max's birthday, Happy Birthday Max!
