Our Labor Day Weekend

Our Labor Day weekend trip was a pleasant one. The campground was only an hour away and was the site was one of quality. The site overlooked a ridge on one side and was well forested on the other two sides. Hence other than the site 20 yards from ours on the other side of the road, the next nearest site was about 40 yards. The only downside for the weekend was the rain continued until late Saturday morning.

Late yesterday afternoon we took in a Hagerstown Sun double header. Here are some pictures from the game. The first picture is the only homerun swing in either game. The second is a triple that went off the upper part of the center wall and shot back past the centerfielder. The third is of a player thrown out trying to stretch a double into a triple.

The last two are of the picture who took a perfect game into the last inning…the shot of the picture is the ball that ended the perfect game. The last picture is the swing that ended the no hit game (with two outs, two balls and two strikes).

we had rain this weekend too. The rain kept us in the trailer on Saturday until we finally decided to head into town to do some shopping.

Glad you had such a good weekend. I think you live in such a wonderful area of the States when it comes to some excellent camping.
By the way, the weather on the weekend was record breaking - sunny, dry - 30.4C on Sunday! Amazing for this area of the country. Yesterday (Labour Day) was 29C and today 29C! The rest of the week is shaping up quite nicely. In saying that, we could have our first flurry of snow at any time. I planted 18 tomato plants back in May - finally picked my first ripe tomato today - and they said you couldn't grow tomatos in Calgary. Of course, those same 18 plants would have yielded 5 bushels of tomatoes by now in Toronto. Anyway, I have the victory!! I got my tomato!!

We didn't escape the rain completely. It poured all day Friday and throughout much of the day on Saturday. The rain stopped on Saturday evening, so we were able to have a campfire. The weather was great on Sunday and Monday. It poured again on Tuesday.
