Rubber Ducks

Okay, what does RVing have to do with Rubber Ducks? 

Unless you are Sherry, who has a trio of rubber ducks that ride on the dashboard of her motorhome, absolutely nothing.

However, it was our Journey that transported us to Ohio, where we got to go to a farm team baseball game in downtown Akron with Marti’s sister Anne and brother-in-law, Bud.  The team?

The team’s name comes from the large tire manufacturing history of Akron.  The best part?  We had seats in one of the sky boxes.  Yep, living large!  You can see the sky boxes over the seats where the “poor” people sat to watch the game.  ;c)

The Rubber Ducks played a team from Philadelphia.

Usually, farm team games are much more exciting than many professional games.  This game, not so much.  The Ducks lost 4-0.

In between innings, the sideline entertainment was much more fun, with the team mascot and friends performing.

Or during one inning break, a sling shot launched hot dogs,

to a kid that tried to catch them in his oversized pants.  I’d have been glad to just buy him a hotdog to avoid his embarrassment.

Then there was the kiddie stampede on the field right after the game ended.

That should have happened before the game to burn off some of their energy so they could sit still during the game.  ;c)

Just a different kind of experience we’ve enjoyed while traveling full time in the Journey.  You never know what you’re going to find or see next!
