Bees Game

June 1st started Air Force appreciation week. The Bees game honored the men and women who serve in the Air Force. Since my dad works at Hill Air Force Base, he got us tickets for $5 each.

Before the game, there were sidewalk displays of cool vehicles

and stuff with Air Force insignia on it.

Two guys repelled off the side of the stadium.

Before the gates opened, the Air Force Drill Team performed. They use fully functional rifles with bayonets on the end. They walk and flip their guns in different formations with "precision."

At the end, they line up twirling their guns toward the person across from them. One of the guys walks from the front of the line to the back, then back to the front all while the other guys are twirling their guns.

Kind of scary, but mostly amazing.

While inside the stadium, four parachuters entered the stadium carrying different flags.

The 4th jumper carried the flag of the United States. It was gathered before it hit the ground and the four jumpers held it out in center field while the rest of the pregame stuff happened.

Right at the end of the National Anthem, these jets flew over the stadium.

It was pretty awesome.

The weather started out nice, but then by about the 2nd inning, the rain came. It started a pretty good downpour and a lot of fans left. We were able to move up under a covered part of the stadium. The covered part along with our blankets kept us dry and warm enough to enjoy the game.

The Bees ended up winning the game 6-5. It turned out to be an exciting game and made it more enjoyable to be there.

All it takes is your favorite outside sports clothing,

a garbage bag as a rain coat, a pizza box as a visor and a popcorn bucket as a hat.
