Rubber Ducks

This Mother's Day I was unable to spend it with my mom since she still lives in Florida. I had planned to go to church and spend a little time with my aunt, but since it was Mother's Day she had plans with her husband to do something *fun* So instead of  driving all the way out to church to drive home and sitting in the pew by myself depressed with all of these moms around me and mine is still in Florida I decided to stay home. I spent it reading a book on the couch. And waited for my roommate to get home.

When she got home we got ready and headed to downtown Akron, with her mom and sister in the car. We were meeting her two brothers outside of the stadium for the Akron Rubber Ducks game. When we arrived at the gate her brother was no where to be found, but not to worry there was a bubble machine shooting out bubbles. And I cannot resist *bubbles* 



The clouds were looking a little questionable, but we wouldn't let them rain on our parade. The sun was still shining and the Rubber Ducks were playing well. The stadium had all kinds of fun activities going on. One of these things being two giant inflatable slides that T and her sister were excited about going down. We waited until about the 3rd inning when the Ducks weren't up to bat to head over to the slides. We walked around all of the different food vendors and a Yuengling vendor *grin*

We made it over to the slides and the rain started to come. At least there was a tent set up that we quickly hid under. The rain lasted about 5 minutes, but we never did get down those slides because they shut them down *sigh* I did get my Yuengling though and T's sister got her dipping dots.

After the rain clouds passed the sun was the only thing in the sky, besides a few sparse clouds scattered here and there. The sun was beating directly down on us. I did not mind, I was made for the sunshine, except it was now hot and muggy and I was sweating,  T and I kept complaining about how much we were sweating and her sister was over there in jeans. How she was not dying, I do not know. Then there was a lady sitting next to me, who barely said anything the entire game and we could not understand how she was not complaining about being hot.

The Rubber Ducks played very well. They won! Overall it was a great day. I loved being out in the sun at America's favorite past time with my friend and her family. We had great seats, behind home plate. I cannot wait to go to another game!



After the game we went for dinner at Cilantro, which is a Thai and Sushi place. Delicious. I will do a proper blog post on this place. Because I definitely want to go back and get some Pad Thai... YUM!

*Shine like Glitter*
Sorry I do not have many pictures from the game.
I forgot my camera.
Outside of the stadium instead of a normal cross walk there were duck foot prints going across the street. It was the cutest thing.
I am very grateful that T and her family allowed me to tag along with them on Mother's Day.
I was missing my mom, but this day helped.
After dinner I went home and Skyped with her for about an hour.
I hope you all had a wonderful Mother's Day.
I'm sorry that this is a few days late.
The Cavaliers are in the playoffs and I have been watching the games.
They are moving onto the Finals.
Have a wonderful week!
Namaste.
