So we didn't really do anything super exciting for memorial day weekend, but it was fun. The weather forecast was supposed to be nice, so I suggested we try to go to a Cardinal game and they were playing the Royals. I looked online and was able to get tickets for like $10-15 each, but Dustin didn't like how crappy the seats were and thought we should try for the First Pitch tickets. For these First Pitch tix, you go to the box office when it opens at 9am and get a voucher, then bring the voucher to a certain gate 15 minutes before game time and they hand you an envelope with 2 tickets in it. It's only $11 total and you have a chance to get really great seats. So Saturday morning it is raining out and we think there won't be anybody in line, so get there at 9:00 and the line looked HUGE! They hand out at least 275 vouchers, so we probably would have got one, but just drove back home cause it didn't seem worth it to stand in such a huge line. So we decide to try again Sunday morning, but get there at like 8:30 so the line will be shorter. We were still there until around 9:30, so still an hour of waiting around. So we come back at 1:00 and get our envelope. The couple in front of us opens theirs and is like- "awesome- infield box seats" (or something good)! I open ours and just say- "let's go back home." dustin's like- "what? did we get bleachers" I inform him- "WORSE- STANDING ROOM ONLY!!!!!!" Dustin seriously has the worst luck of anyone and now that has rubbed off on me. We'd spent all this time, had our cooler packed, was all excited to sit down and watch a game and now i have to find a place to stand for 3 hours. Lesson learned- we should have just bought the cheap tickets online so we at least had a seat! it worked out well though cause we ran into other people we knew there so we just went to the casino queen party area and sat at a table there and watched most of it on tv.
Friday night we headed over to Breese for my cousin's high school graduation. So hard to believe that he is going to be going to college! I hope when I have kids the time does not fly by this fast! Unfortunately, we had some goober with horrid B.O. in front of us that had to be one of the worst smelling people I've ever been around. Since there was no A/C and we were crammed into bleachers I could only imagine how worse it was going to get as the ceremony went on. Luckily some poor saps came along and sat next to them, so Stinky had to scoot down, away from us. I'm just amazed that no one in the family would tell this grown man that he needs to shower or how they could stand the smell! We had issues getting any good pics turn out, but this is the best one:
