A's vs. Rockies

My mom and dad took us to McAfee Coliseum for a 6:05 game between the Colorado Rockies and Oakland A's. I hadn't been to this stadium in years. When we got in the car in Danville, it was 109 degrees so we were looking forward to a cooler evening in Oakland. Although cooler, the 1st few innings in the sun were a little toasty. We did have great seats field level along the 1st base line and saw an action packed game. Unfortunately most of the action came from the Rockies as the A's starter gave up 4 home runs and 7 total runs in his less-than impressive start. Final score- Rockies win 11-9.




Allison spent most of the game debating which vendor to buy her treat from. She finally decided on a messy snow cone that melted in minutes. Taylor and I much preferred the Nestle Toll House Chipwich. Delicious! Grandma and Papa sat a few rows behind us, but the kids made frequent visits to their shady seats. Thanks for a fun night!
