Well so much for that

July 6, 2009

We scratched from our horse show.  It poured rain.  The  Rapids failed to rise to even a level of basic mediocrity.  The fireworks show was a bust and didn’t go off due to technical difficulties.  And it took an hour and a half just to get out of the stadium parking lot and to the main road.  Not quite the holiday we had planned but since in 48 hours I’ll be eating hamburgers with the whole famn damily at Disney World, I won’t complain.  In the mean time, while I have time to pause in the pre vacation chaos, here’s a few shots from our fourth of July.

Studying the beautiful game intently, as any proper hooligan would.

The highlight of the night: the mascot all star match. Great hilarity always ensues.

Franz the Fox dribbles it in.  He shoots. He scores to give the home team the go ahead goal.

Or mascot goalie, Jorge el Mapache.  Saying  Jorge el Mapache makes me giggle.
