Saturday morning, Eric and Peanut headed to the vet while Kim headed to run errands. Peanut got a clean bill of health and four booster shots. He also has a shiny blue rabies vaccination tag for his collar. You can tell he thinks he's hot stuff ;)
After we both got home, we decided to go to The Greene for lunch. We sat outside to eat, and then headed over to the fountain in the square. We had a great time watching all the little kids run in and out of the fountain - and were amused to see some kids came prepared to play in the water (complete with swimsuits and goggles) while others obviously had not (in their frilly sundresses).
Not too much later, Kim's dad came by to pick us up, and we headed to the Reds/Cubs game. Kim's dad got tickets through his office and nicely invited us to join him. And boy are we glad we did! We didn't realize it until we got there, but the tickets were in the clubhouse, and it was a-ma-zing. There was a huge lobby area with free food (burgers, hot dogs, pizza, nachos, shrimp, pasta, pulled pork...you get the idea), so we sampled a little bit of everything.
Then we headed to our seats to watch the game. The starting pitcher was playing his first game in the major leagues, and he did a really good job.
And even better, he got a hit on his first at-bat, so his batting average was 1.000 (at least for two innings).
Today, we made our way to the Strawberry Festival - one of the biggest and tastiest of the season. Of course it was packed, but we managed to enjoy a wide variety of strawberry items (shortcake, ice cream, donuts, salsa, popcorn and lemonade are just a few of the many options).
[Editor's Update: Continuing with our baseball theme, Kim also got to have lunch with our friend Owen this week, who was in town for work. It was nice to catch up with him, and we're looking forward to seeing him again in October!]
