Charlotte Knights

The company Rich works for invited us all down to a Charlotte Knights (minor league baseball) game this last weekend.  However, they do not play in Charlotte.  They do not even play in the state... we traveled down to South Carolina to watch them.  Weird. 


Before the game we had a little company picnic with hamburgers, hotdogs, chips, watermelon... the works.




There was a promotion that night and all the boys got baseball gloves!  Awesome!


While we ate there was a downpour.  That actually happens pretty often here.  One minute will be pretty nice outside and then suddenly it's pouring rain!  And then it only lasts for about 10 minutes and it's sunny again.  Needless to say, the game was a little delayed.



But we had lots of fun wandering the stadium and eating our snacks.




And right before the game started a double rainbow appeared in the sky (you can't really see the second one).  It was pretty awesome (the second one I've seen this year) and reminded us of one of our favorite youtube videos.


Since the game got such a late start we didn't stay for much of the actual game.  I don't think the boys minded at all.  For as much as they love going to baseball games they don't really watch much of it!  I hope we get another chance to watch the Knights in action soon!

  3. WOW, that quite the company to work for! And how fun for the boys to get a glove!

    Colorado seems to be very similar in the weather! We have been having that kind of crazy weather right now. Sunny & bright... windy, cloudy & rain...

  4. Elise... it's really not that long of a drive--only about 1 hour.
