One of the surprisingly more fun activities we did on our trip was go to a Reds' game in Cincinnati. I say "surprisingly" because I really didn't think Dylan would last long. I thought he'd get bored, would start running through the stands like a maniac and we'd have to leave within the first inning. We ended up staying for most of the game. He loved all the sound effects ("Da da da da daaaa! Charge!!"), flashing lights and images on the big screen. And when the Reds scored a home run, they shot off fireworks over the Ohio River. Of course a year ago, all of this would have been "overstimulation" but this year he was old enough to appreciate and enjoy it. Unfortunately, my camera died while in the U.S. so I don't have as many pictures from the trip as I would have liked to, but I did take quite a few at the game. And the Reds beat the Pirates. Go Reds!
More updates as I get over the jet lag and this nasty cold (flu?!) I picked up at the end of the trip!
In the box where we had the "all-you-can-eat" lunchtime buffet including a stir fry bar, pizza bar, nachos bar, hot dog bar and hamburger bar - and more! And unlimited ice cream and peanuts!
Great day for a game!

Even the changing stations in the bathrooms had the Reds' theme going.

That's a great stadium to see a Major League game...Too bad Cincinnati doesn't have a Major League team.
Slam! Mmm, but did I mention the all-you-can-eat nachos bar? Now that was major league! In all honesty, I haven't followed the Reds in a while (like since the Johnny Bench days) and don't know most of the players. My mom says they are in the process of "rebuilding."
