The Kane County Cougars

This year Cami enrolled in Ozzie's Reading Club sponsored by the Kane County Cougars baseball team. In short, if she read a certain number of books during the school year she would be rewarded with a free ticket to a baseball game, a free shirt, and a voucher for a free hot dog meal at the game.

She completed all the requirements and enjoyed the books as she went. She was really excited to go to the game and I could tell that she felt a real sense of accomplishment. Everyone was very proud of her.

We bought three more tickets and a parking pass so we could all go to the game. The day of the game mommy wasn't feeling well and didn't go to the game. It was just as well because it was very hot and there were a lot of stairs in the stadium. Her knee would have hurt terribly had she gone.

Both of the kids got their picture with Ozzie, the maskot of the team. Can you tell that the t-shirt that Cami got is a large? That was the only size they had. Oh well, she can wear it as a nightie.

The kids got their fill of hot dogs, popcorn, pop, and a bunch of stuff I can't even remember. The kids weren't really into the game that much. There were a bunch of other kids from Cami's class and that distracted her.

After the game was over the kids got an opportunity to run the bases. I could have also but I opted to watch and take pictures as they crossed the plate. Unfortunately some other kid was in the way so my pictures aren't that great.

It was a great time and Cami felt really good about getting her reward.
