Not as cool as Carlisle...but almost!

[Xplantdad]

Well...since Jeff Morocco and Kwhizz couldn't be bothered to come to Arizona for the game between the Diamondbacks and the Angels...I was forced to go in their place http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif

So, we decided to throw a party...

I invited staff/volunteers/participants from the Barrows Neurological Institues "Day on the Lake" to come have fun with us! Since they were all familiar with "water"...I decided to have the party at the pool!

Enjoy the pics! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

Finally...I am REALLY proud of Holly!

Here's the story (and I am sticking to it!).

I was fortunate enough to get a home run ball hit by Tony Clark. I gave the ball to Holly. The staff from Chase Field came down and asked if we wanted the ball signed by Tony. We told them sure...so they explained that they would get the ball to Tony...get it signed...and mail it to us.

At that point, Holly said that she wanted Ryan to have the ball...so we gave the staff Ryan's home address. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/headbang.gif


We must have done a few things right with Holly...I am so proud of her!! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

[bad1racing]

Bruce,Holly is only giving back a little of what she has been givin by you and Lynn. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif
When you have teachers who lead by example usually the pupil will follow in their footsteps. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/BruceRocks.gif
You have done well.

I have always believed our children are a product of there upbringing. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/BruceRocks.gif

[VIPERICH]

you should be very proud that your daughter even wants to spend time with you.most kids these days are to busy for there parents.by her making that gesture with the ball shows she was brought up with manners and respect.the ball field looks killer.there is a pool there or am i seeing things?thanks for sharing your pictures with us!!

[Xplantdad]

Sometimes my daughter amazes me... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Viperich...you are not seeing things...there is a pool there. It's voted as one of the top places to see a ball game from...

BTW, the Angels won the game by a bunch!!

[CC Rider]

Great stuff!

Now I know what you guys were doing tonight. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

[Camaroinaz]

Bruce,

I was at the game last night and saw you, Holly and Lynn on the score board! Way to go for Holly giving the ball away. Too bad the D-Backs had such a pathetic showing last night losing 12-3.

[Xplantdad]

Mark...You should have come up and introduced yourself! I would have been able to get you into the pool area...

With my "mug" showing on the scoreboard...it's a wonder it didn't short out http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

BTW...I am a big Angels fan http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Xplantdad]

Wow...Gary Matthews on the Angels team just stoled home! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/headbang.gif
