And so we did...take about 130 AVID kids for an end of the year field trip to the ballpark on $1.00 hot dog day! What a fun experience!!! Hard to believe how many kids have never been to a ballgame and really had no idea how the "All American" sport worked. 
The heat got a little intense so shirts went on under the hats...and then the kids laughed at themselves and commented that they looked like they left their lawnmowers and edgers on the bus....gotta love boys with a sense of humor! 
"So, Mrs. Shubzda, is that it? I mean those guys really worked hard to get 2 points."
Maybe we should have had tutorials on the joy of the game. It is really not as fast paced as basketball, kids! It is sunshine, hotdogs, and doing the wave! You sit in the heat for hours and if you are lucky a fly ball comes your way...or someone in the stands behind you throws peanut shells down your back. Just expect a lazy day in the sun with a lot of friends and NO BOOKS for eight hours and you won't be let down!!!Guess I forgot to tell this guy he was not supposed to be exausted after spending the day sitting in the bleachers. Only the old folks are allowed that liberty!
Thanks "special friends" for making me laugh (once again) and making my last days so memorable!
