When we were making plans to come to Cincinnati to see Amit, he asked us if we would like to go to a Red's baseball game. What a silly question to ask? :o) Of course, we'd love to go!! So, off we went.
Lots and lot of people
Amit got ahold of my camera again!
Our school Principal in Cayman and her husband were also in Cincy visiting their family. Here is their son, Adam, behind Dennis holding his Red's hat on Dennis' head while his dad, Mr. P., is watching on.

If I didn't know better I'd think Amit was here before :o))
Our first glimpse inside the stadium! Oh, finally a good baseball game!!
The "four" Amigos
The stadium is very nice!!
And you even have a view of the Ohio River as it flows by.
Around the stadium
Can you see the guy on the dug~out roof? He was being recognized for his duty in the Marines. He got a standing ovation from the crowd.
The guy on the left of the screen is on active duty in the Air Force and also received special recognition. The people really cheered for him, too!
This guy keeps showing up in my pictures
See what I mean???????????
Don't know if you can see it or not, but can you pick out the ship? See the black bottom of it?
Now they put the Red's hat on my head!
If you click on the picture you can see the turtle doves that had been sitting on the back~stop for a long time taking in the game. Finally, one of the players hit a foul ball that came back and hit the back~stop and the doves flew off!!
This guy is one of the best pitcher's I've ever see!!
He is the Red's closer
Look at the speed of the pitch
And then he threw this!
The record speed for a pitch is 105 mph! Amazing!!
The Ohio River was busy on Saturday with boats and barges!
"MAKE SOME NOISE!"
"Make Noise" on the noise meter
"Charge!"
"Make Noise!"
Can you tell at this point the game was tied at 2 ~ 2 and they were getting the crowd wound up as the Red's were up to bat!!
"Get Loud!"
"Make Noise!"
"Go Crazy!" which we all were :o)
"Strike Out!' If the Red's would have struck out 11 of the opposing team everyone would have gotten free pizza and ice cream. They had 7 strike~outs, I believe!
"Screamin' Red's!"
Finally, the Red's pulled it off and won!! What fun we had!!
The Red's team
Smoke from the fireworks blowing across the field
I'd love to go back for another game in Cincy, but that won't be for a while. This weekend we're going to see the Cleveland Indians with Brandon! More fun is on the way, folks. Stay tuned :o)

Was "Frosty" at the ball game? He could have helped to make noise!
Dorcas, Some time ago, Tim and I and some friends, the own a 81ft. house boat, were on the Ohio River, and they had a jet ski along too, and we got to ride up and down the river, and I rode up to the Red's stadium and some of the casinos on the river...THAT WAS FUN!!
Love Ya,

Vi.....
Haha!! I couldn't remember that dudes name other than ANNOYING!!! We could name him that.
Harold.....
That sounds like fun ~ ummmm, let me clarify fun ~ the house boat not the jet ski!! Since you don't live that far away you should come over to a game once and a while. It would be worth your time!!
