Big Games

The softball games yesterday were in the morning, so in the afternoon we went down to Canalside.  It was a free concert night (although we were too early for that), but an unfortunate side effect was that they wouldn't let me take my camera into the area because "professional" camera equipment wasn't allowed.  (Clearly they didn't know much about photography if they thought my gear was professional!  I didn't even have a lens cap on -- what kind of professional would do that?  :) )  So, I had to make do with the phone camera.

Much to James and Matthew's delight, they had some large-sized games out -- the boys enjoyed giant Jenga, and James played Maia in giant checkers.

Afterwards, we went to Pearl Street for dinner, which was a fun location (except for them forgetting to bring Karen's dinner until the rest of us were almost done!)

Edited to add: The other excitement while our friends were here was that there was a water main leak, so we had to boil water or use bottled water.  (Welcome to the United States, where you can't drink the water!  The just lifted the ban now, Saturday afternoon.)
