That stands for the Durham Bulls Athletic Park! Our family along with others from the church went to the Bulls game last night. I knew it would be a long night so I insisted that everyone have a "closed eyed nap" in preparation. After our first DB game two years ago we decided that the $2.00 it cost to park in the deck is beyond worth it! The walk in much shorter on the way home and there is practically no chance of getting lost.
The kids know that going to a Bulls game means- Snow cones. Again, the $4.00 price tag on the snow cone is beyond worth it! We had front row seats on the second level. So all the people selling food walked by us. Ryan learned pretty early how fun it was to yell, "Snow cones", "lemonade", and "cotton candy". He was helping the guys sell their products!
After much patience, we purchased our cones. The thing that is the best about snow cones is they take about an hour to eat and they are liquid so you don't have to buy a drink. It's the treat that keeps on going!
By the time the snow cones were finished, it was 9pm and the game was in the 7th inning. There were going to be fireworks at the end so we were motivated to stay. Within an unbelievably small number of breakdowns, we stayed for the entire game and fireworks. I think it was around 10:45 when we finally made it to the van.
Emma was the first to fall asleep followed shortly by Ryan. Peter was certain that he wasn't a "drop" tired and wouldn't fall asleep. About 15 minutes from Roxboro, he started to fall asleep. By this time, I was starving and agreed that I wanted to stop at McDonald's for a burger and fries. I told Peter if he stayed awake he could have a burger. That did the trick. At 11:45pm, we were going through the McD's drive through and Peter was wide awake. He hasn't mentioned anything today about that special late night treat so I wonder if he even remembers.
