Friday: We left for San Angelo in the late morning. We stopped for DQ for lunch. It rained for most of the drive towards Abilene. The gates opened at Foster Field at 6pm for the game between the Colts and the Laredo Broncos. I met up with Ken Franz and Frank (the voice of the Colts). Ken was able to talk me into being a human bowling ball for a between inning promotion. I would post pictures of me in the steel "bowling ball" but thankfully T did not take a good picture. B was in the "Dress like a Colt" promotion sponsored by John and Patti Ballard. K was a base sweeper later in the game. Then the lighting and rain hit the area. The game was called after 4.5 innings and the Colts won.
Saturday: We drove around the San Angelo area, hitting the local movie theatre to see Shrek the Third. The kids also did some swimming before we headed to Foster Field. However, the storm last night made the field unplayable. I was very upset that I would not get to see my Colts play. We ended up going to Zenter's for dinner. They have steaks that are out of this world. I ordered a huge t-bone well worth the price.
Sunday: We drove back to Ft. Worth. We ate at Sonic for lunch. In the evening We had a Father's Day gathering at Aunt Helen's. Marc and Amy came over with Anna. Wes and family come down as well. It was good to spend time with Marc and Wes. Wes had to work while we were visiting and I did not get to visit with him much. There was some "Ladder golf" (aka Hillbilly horseshoe) played, with the Bracken father daughter combo lost to the Carr team.
I will finish the trip review tomorrow.
