Day 3 started off at a run as usual. We went to the 9AM step class and then a stop at Target and a few other errands. Robyn then made some fried eggs and toast for her and mom while I enjoyed some left over veggie salads. Around 12:45 I drove us nearer to the ball park and we walked the 20 minute distance to the Coors field in downtown Denver. Our seats were on the opposite side of the stadium, but once we found them we liked them. The sun was to our backs and we had enough sunscreen, sunglasses and hats to keep us cool, along with water bottles, peanuts, beer and even a spray bottle to keep us cool in the hotter moments. The shade eventually took over our section as a harsh wind rose up and had us questioning whether a down pour would be in the future. Luckily it held off as we watched the Colorado Rockies loose to the Kansas City Royals 16-8, an extremely high-scoring game. It was a very fun game and we had a nice family sitting next to us cracking jokes and cheering along until the very end (yep, we stayed till the end of the 9th inning, the weather and game were that great!). Then home for a rest, it being so hot we melted into my apartment. Robyn and I played some Monopoly and Mom napped. Before 8 we made our way to Watercourse Foods for our evening reservations. I had some other options for activities to do but after the hot, long day we decided to keep it simple and just enjoy a wonderful meal together.
ROCKIES GAME!!
There was this odd marketing event going on to get people to go to Rapid City, South Dakota to visit Mt. Rushmore. There were four Mt. Rushmore statue-esque people walking around the stadium getting people excited, dancing around, etc. Mom wanted a picture with Teddy so we grabbed one during a slower inning.
With enough preparation (see hat, glasses and beverages), even Mom can enjoy a baseball game in 96 degree heat a mile high up!
We love baseball!
Goofy sisters
Getting goofier as the game goes on!
"I'm 21!!"
Oooh come on Rockies!
Beautifully manicured field, right?!
The Rocky players each received an American president persona while up to bat. Lookin' good Chris Iannetta! ;)
Are we in nature? In the mountains?
Nope! It's the baseball stadium!!
After a little nap and refresher, feeling good and ready for some dinner!

Lovin' life
Who wouldn't?! Super chocolatey cake with a coconut-based vegan vanilla ice cream from an ice cream shop on Broadway (Sweet Action). Robyn and I finished that sucker off, for better or worse!
Pensive thoughts on cake
