Bees & Fireworks

We haven't had too many picture-taking-worthy events since we got back from Oregon, so there hasn't been much to post about. Last weekend, we decided to go to a Salt Lake Bees game. I first got the idea on the 24th of July when we missed all the fireworks and heard they had them at the Bees game that night. I saw they were doing them again on the 22nd, so we decided to go. We weren't too excited about paying the $4.50 per ticket transaction fee, so Nate checked the classifieds and got us a good deal - cheaper than the cheap tickets we were going to get, and they were behind home plate not too far up. The game was fun, although I can't really say it was exciting - the Bees lost 11-2 (I think - I lost track at some point). We went to Cafe Rio before the game, so it was nice to just sit and enjoy the game after eating way too much food! The fireworks after the game were actually pretty good. They were by no means as good as the ones in Boston on the 4th, but we weren't expecting much so they beat our expectations pretty easily.

Saturday was a little less exciting - Nate studied for the GMAT all morning while I tried to clean the house. Other than a trip to the gym and the swimming pool in the afternoon, the highlight of the day was a trip to Home Depot that night. We looked for shelves for our garage and a couple other things - all we ended up with was materials to make a clothes rod and another shelf for our laundry room, but we got a couple other good ideas. Apparently Home Depot was a popular destination, because we ran into some friends who live down the street from us and another couple from the ward, and my sister Jessica went with her family that night (cute pictures of my nephews riding around here).

By the way, does anyone know why the Bees changed their name from the Buzz to the Bees? I'm surprised they moved away from the Utah "zz" theme (Jazz, Starzz, etc.). They should at least be the Beezz.
