4th of July


We started our day with a bike ride.  This was the first ride that we had gone on together in Tennessee.  Kinda sad it took almost 4 years to happen!  Barry's rode his bike a few times as he's accompanied me when I go running.  We went all over the place in Lebanon and had a great ride!
We spent some time taking pics of things to list on ebay and Oreo decided to help us!  Isn't she a cutey?!
This is in the front of the house with our flowers and such.  We're all decked out in our 4th of July attire.  
Here we are at the Sounds game.  We got there about an hour early and sat at our seats, watching the players get warmed up.  About 20 minutes before the game was to start, they pulled out the tarp and it started to rain...  We were prepared with our slickers, but it just got worse and worse.  We went down to the concessions to try and stay dry and ended up staying there for 20 minutes or so.  The game was delayed a total of 84 minutes.  We watched till the top of the fourth and the showers started again.  At this point, we just left.  It was pouring and we were drenched.  There was not much chance of the fireworks being shown anyway.  

This is the scoreboard!  When the game was called, it was 2-1 in the Albuquerque Isotopes favor.  They are supposed to play the rest of the innings Sunday evening.  We do get to use our tickets for another game.  So, hopefully, we'll go back in the near future and catch a whole game.  Our seats were pretty good, though -- fourth row on the 3rd base side.
This pic was taken before the worst of the storms...  We were soaked but not as bad as when we were running to the car.  We needed the rain, but were sorry it spoiled the fireworks show.
