Reading with the Bees

I love all the summer reading programs, but one of my very favorites is the Read Today program in conjunction with the Bees baseball team. It usually becomes available around the middle of May and everything is uploaded, including the reading records, but basically 20 minutes a day earns each child a pencil, Happy Meal from McDonalds, a book, and tickets to see the Bees on a special night in August which just happened to be tonight.


This was Sport's last year to participate in the program, but with him and the other younger kids, we were able to earn 8 tickets to the baseball game and that was enough for everyone living at home except the Dog Walker and Puppy Lover** Please note that Cat Lover has opted to change her blog name so that she and Dog Walker can be more similar than opposite. Crafty also stayed home because she had a Youth City Council Meeting. Even though she is no longer the Youth Mayor, she is still an Executive and they are planning their new calendar.

But I digress...

Tonight at the Bees game was Taco Tuesday, so we enjoyed delicious tacos for dinner when we got there just after the first pitch was thrown. Curly had football practice and his coach was kind enough to let him leave a little early even with a scrimmage game tomorrow and the first preseason game on Saturday.


We had a great time even though the Bees ultimately ended up losing 6 - 3. We slipped away during the 8th inning so we could avoid the traffic since Curly and Baby Doll have school tomorrow.

Thank you so much Read Today! You sure know how to put on a party... and trust me, we know parties!

  1. Yes, you do know parties. I love that you did the read program and earned the tickets. I love when I hear that children are reading.
    I think it is so cute that Cat Lover decided to be Puppy Lover.
    It sounds like you had a great time at the Bee’s game. We have talked about going to one. I would like cooler weather. I’m getting old.
    Loving thoughts and hugs for all~
