Go Rockies...Well, Maybe in June!

When Clara was almost one, we took her to Opening Day of the Rockies and Brian decided it would be a family tradition.  Well, the Rockies got popular a couple years after that and opening day just turned into a big party with a big crowd and big ticket prices.  Not something that is all that redeeming when you have three little people to take, so last year we changed our tradition to Opening Weekend until the girls are a bit older!  This year we decided to head down to the game on Sunday.  The weather on Saturday was perfect, so we thought we were in luck...not so much.  As springtime in Colorado goes, we ended up with a chilly morning.  We figured it was not a big deal, just pack coats and we didn't have to stay the whole time.  As we were driving down, it started to rain. We are troopers, so we paid our $10 to park and grabbed an umbrella.  When we got in the weather got quite a bit colder and they were on a rain delay.  We grabbed Dip-N-Dots (at $5 a bowl) for the girls (a tradition as well) and waited.  The rain turned to snow and the game was cancelled.  So we basically had $25 ice cream and pictures to prove it!  Tickets are good for any game...I am thinking June or July!
