For Father's Day I surprised Rich with tickets to see the Mets play the Phillies.  I wanted Yankees vs. Phillies, but they were not playing in interleague play this season. I guess it was better that way because it was supposed to be a nice family day, not a competition.  So the only person rooting for the Mets was my Dad.  LOL.  This was the first major league baseball game for Rich and I in about 10 years and the very first for the kids.  Seth really enjoyed it and Savannah liked it by the end, but she enjoyed the ice cream much more.  It was very sunny in the beginning but we had great seats on the 3rd base line 10 rows back.  We could see great and when our seats moved into the shade in inning 6 and the action started in the 8th inning, we had a most delightful and pleasant time.  It was a great day and way to spend Father's Day (celebration).
