This year we finally got with the program and the kids participated in the library's Summer Reading Program. The kids had a blast doing this. Getting our kids to read has never been a problem around here, so they were excited to earn prizes for something they already love to do. Among the prizes were free kids meals at Applebee's (which we used this week), and free tickets to a Ft. Wayne Tin Caps game. This also included a gift (bag) and a hot dog, chips, and a drink. We had a great evening together at the ball park.
Growing up my family had season tickets to the Indianapolis Indians. So, for me this was a great flashback to summertime growing up. We loved going to the ballpark and watching games. It was great to be able to do this with our kids (at a much reduced cost thanks to the library.) Isobel did not join us on this venture. She would not have appreciated being confined to seats during a 3 hour game. Not to mention the 45 minute car ride each way. Here are some pictures from the ballpark!
