Rain Delay (Behind the Scenes)

It's Behind the Scenes Day. Behind the Scenes is a link up where we tell the real story - the actual life behind that perfectly framed photo.  Link up here to read more fun adventures.

The story:
Last Saturday, the girls and I were supposed to go to a baseball game at Nationals Park. The Nats were going to play, keep their playoff hopes alive, get us a Curly W, AND after the game, we would have the post-game concert hearing Montgomery Gentry live. We were SO EXCITED. And the weather ... well, the weather did not cooperate. But, thanks to the madness that is the last 10 days of the regular season, MLB gets to "assist" in if a game is postponed. So, the game was "on". And in a rain delay. The picture above was taken by my 5yo - proudly showing off her galoshes. And so, the rest of the behind the scenes story is that we waited. 7 hours. Until they called the game at 11:15pm. No game. No concert. My girls met a whole bunch of "mommy's baseball friends" and we had a hilarious adventure on the concourse. The kids proclaimed it the "best not-a-baseball-game-trip-to-the-park". Then they qualified that - "except for Opera in the Outfield, mama. Because then we still get to see some other stuff. But this was fun and your friends are great."

So, now you can see our adventure in photos. As I present "the photo essay of a rain delay - through the eyes of a 5 year old".  Enjoy.

*DISCLAIMER. I am not swift enough with this posting stuff to make these pictures show up aligned or in a pretty order. It's raw. It's real. It's scattered. Sort of like our adventure.
