I had more grandson time this weekend.
Friday night was spent on the bike path along the Lake Champlain waterfront. There was a music festival going on in the park so it was crowded with tourists and townies. A minor miracle was finding parking when a truck pulled out of a space right next to the bike path as I turned into the lot by the skate park -- no time wasted so the fun could begin.
Saturday was a picture perfect July day. We headed out for the Burlington Farmers' Market. The market moved from downtown this year. The venue is much larger but also out in the blazing sun. Lots of people do not like the change but personally I was quite glad not to be stepping on someone's dog every time I turned around. Dane took advantage of a great variety of peppers -- sweet to hot.
He was wanting to see the Lake Monsters Baseball game on Saturday night. The theme was Star Wars. (Not Star Trek. Trust me, don't make that mistake.) And there were fireworks after the end of the game. The Brooklyn Cyclones bested the Monsters, 5 to 1, but it was a fun game all the same.
Champ, the mascot.
Yankees did not fare much better at all over the weekend. Yankee fan Don went to Boston with his Red Sox fan son.

We used some of the fresh vegetables to make a pizza supper.

Sounds like a fun time. I am definately a Trekkie and would never confuse the two.
ReplyDeleteOlga We do not speak of the weekend games with boston in our home. OMG did you hear me yelling at my TV from Virginia?
ReplyDeleteYour time with your grandson sounds perfect. Do you know I am the only person in the world who has never seen a Star Wars Movie? I am quite proud of that badge, I must admit. I also love it when it makes peoples heads explode as though I am missing something. It amuses me.
Lot of fun! Your grandson is a lucky boy. As for Star Trek/Star Wars I' haven't a clue so hopefully my grandson doesn't grow up to care :)
ReplyDeleteThat sounded fun for both grandson and ma.I was a Trekkie and only saw one Star Wars flick but know there is a big difference in the fan base.
ReplyDeleteI should try making pizza, too. Sounds like you had a great time with Dane.
ReplyDeleteToo bad the Lake Monsters lost, but it doesn't sound like it affected the fun of the game. In any confrontation between Captain Kirk and Obi Wan Kenobi my money is on Obi. He has the Force after all.
ReplyDeleteHow I miss the days when my now 20 yo Grandson spent so much of his free time with me. I love my Grand Girls but little boys are a different kind of special.
