So, I spent last weekend in Indy with Kara and her family. Nothing out of the usual... right? Wrong. My parents were also down in Indy...to spend time with myself and with Kara's family. Why?
Well, Mr. Murphy got a package for an Indianapolis Indians (AAA affiliate of the Pittsburgh Pirates) game. The package included 8 tickets to the game, and the opportunity for someone to throw out the ceremonial first pitch. Knowing that I played baseball in college and was a big fan of the sport, Mr. Murphy asked me if I would like to do the honors. Of course I excitedly accepted his offer. And below you can see the video Kara took on her digital camera of me throwing out the first pitch, which didn't go quite as planned. Let's put it this way, the ball may or may not have made it to the backstop...and by that I mean, it definitely made it to the backstop because of my terrible throw. You can tell by Kara's laugh during the video. She's laughing at my failure... haha.
Anyhow, that was Saturday night. On Friday night, Kara's mom, Kara, my parents, my sister, my sister's mother-in-law, and I went out to a nice dinner on the lake front. Saturday during the day, my parents came over to Kara's house and we had a nice relaxing Saturday afternoon until it was time to leave for the game. And Sunday we all at breakfast together at Le Peep before my parents and sister set off to go back home.
All-in-all it was a great weekend with good fun, good people, and good food. It would be nice to do something like this again in the future, whether at my home or Kara's.
