Hola from the 'Ville!!

Hey all!!
I'm back at home (Centerville, OH) and having a great time. Last night my family and I went to the Dayton Dragons baseball game. The Dragons are a single A minor league farm team for the Cincinnati Reds. We had Lawn Seats which means we got to sit out in right field on a blanket (and they're cheaper!)--What screams summer more than that?! It was really funny because there were a tone of little kid T-Ball teams there and they were more about running around than the actual game. It was pretty cute:) It was awesome to spend time with my family and it was a plus that the dragons won! I love going to these games because
1) I'm a HUGE baseball fan
2) The stadium is only 20 min form my house in downtown
3) They play great music
4) I get to eat Dip-n-Dots;) haha
5) It's an all-around GREAT family atmosphere

Home of the Dayton Dragons!
Dayton, OH

I felt like such a tourist;) haha
It's cool, though, because these are all over the place!

Jumbo-Tron--It's sweet bc when there is a homerun, smoke comes out of the Dragons' nostrils and their eyes turn red...it's the little things in life:)

Hahahahaha...this was hilarious. It's "The Famous Chicken" that travels the country and puts on shows for baseball games. He was one of the first baseball mascots and was formerly known as the "San Diego Chicken." He was so popular, however, that he took his show on the road!

Last night was LOTS of fun if you couldn't tell by the pics:) I've also been able to see some friends from high school, so that's been great too. Today, my best friend Kelsey and I went to Free Flip-Flop Day at Tropical Smoothie: We wore flip-flops and got free smoothies and

instead of paying, we were able to donate to a charity. What a genius idea!

I'll be heading back to MU tmrw morning to hang out with the SOULs at some of the Alumni Weekend festivities.

Hope all is well,
mandy:)
