Last week Pete and I finally had a night off together when the St. George Roadrunners were in town. So we drove the 45 minutes down the canyon to see a game. It was a pretty good game, at first we were sitting right in the path of the speakers, so it was a little loud, but once we moved, it was a lot of fun. The game when back and forth for a few innings, but then settled in with the Roadrunners trailing. But in a dramatic turn of events, they came back in the bottom of the eighth and won the game!
We had a good time, the Roadrunners game seems to be a family event in St. George and by the middle of the sixth inning there appeared to be bands of roving children, stalking the mascot and seemingly without any adult supervision. But they seemed to have a good time and so did we.
Later in the week, I had a Saturday and Sunday off in a row so we decided to go camping. We are only about 30 minutes from Cedar Breaks National monument and we found a campground only about 15 minutes up the mountain from Cedar City so Friday afternoon we drove up and set up the tent (in the WIND) then after my rehearsal ended (around 10:30) I did my notes and things then we threw the pups in the car and drove up to the tent. It was, in a word... cold. We went straight to the tent and snuggled into the bed and played some cards, then decided that we would just read because we could snuggle under the covers and finally, just got under the covers and tried to convince the dogs they would be warmer in bed with us.
It was a cold night, but the morning was clear. We had a nice breakfast and lounged around the campsite reading and relaxing. Unfortunately, it turned cold again in the afternoon and we decided to have dinner and a fire while we listened to the ball game and then head back to town. So we packed up the tent, got some firewood and started dinner.
Then it started to rain.
We drove back to town and went to a movie, thus ended the first camping trip of the season. Next time we're heading south, into the desert.
