Daddy and Peanut got to go see the Savannah Bananas!! If you haven't heard of them it's kind of like the Harlem Globe Trotters, but for baseball. They are pretty awesome! T said it was a non stop baseball game, circus, and concert all rolled into one!
They are so popular that you can't even buy tickets to their games. You have to enter a lottery to be chosen to buy tickets. T has entered before but has never won, but a few weeks ago Uncle B called and said he'd won and had two extra tickets! The big girls all wanted to go but Bug had to work and Boo had a volleyball game that day so Peanut was the winner!
T got this picture of her walking by the sign of everyone's favorite player. :)
They got to the park almost five hours early so they could see all the pregame activities! Peanut came down with a cold the day before they left so she was dragging a bit, but T said she perked up for cotton candy. :)
It looked fun, but these crowds are enough of a deterrent for me! They stadium was sold out! 47,000 people!! That's crazy!
They had incredible seats!
It sounds like it was an amazing experience. They said every second was packed with action. Outfielders doing backflips before catching the ball, a girl getting proposed to during one of the between-inning games, people throwing bananas from the top deck into the pants of a guy on the field, and a surprise performance by Train (the band that sings Hey Soul Sister) were just a few of the stories we heard. They said it was two hours of non-stop good, clean, silly fun! T wants us all to go sometime.
They didn't make it back to their hotel until after 11PM so they were tired the next day. They found a bakery and got donuts and then did some shopping before heading home.
They got to go to one of the girls' favorite stores...IKEA!
What a fun trip! I'm so glad they got to go together!
