Racing Sausages

Jo was in Dallas for business at the tail end of the week.  But with the women's World Cup starting I was all set with things to do and watch.  She came home on Saturday just in time for us to join Greg and Rhonda for a dinner and an evening of cards.  The guys won this time (we were thoroughly trashed last time we played) which is always a nice way to end the day.  Sunday we rose to grayish skies with threatening rain, but it held off long enough for us to enjoy a bike ride out to Miller Park to catch our first baseball game of the season.  While we didn't enjoy a hot dog at the park, we did get to see the racing sausages race around the infield and I figured it has been a while since I posted a picture of them, so here you go.  The game was a thriller as the hometown team came back late in the game to win.  Really fun fact, one of the Brewers managed to belt a home run that bounced off a Toyota that is located in the right field stands.  This won a car for one of the lucky fans (unfortunately, not us as we could really use a new car).  First time it has happened since Toyota started the contest (about 6 years ago).  Would be pretty cool to go to the ballpark to watch a game and come home with a new car. 

Anyway, we had a nice ride home because all the rain happened while we were at the ball park enjoying the game inside.  And while our bike seats were a bit wet we didn't have to bike in the actual rain.
