Welcome to the Jester's Kingdom. I hope you enjoy your stay. I'd offer you my second born to follow my blog via one of the handy links to the right, but you'd give him back. And I'm rather fond of him.
The Jester Queen welcomes you back to her kingdom. She's excited that her tendency to refer to herself in the third person hasn't scared you away.
In the absence of a ball game, we took Scott out to the rain delay to celebrate his birthday. Not quite the same. But then, we’ve never been your standard family, so we enjoyed it a lot until everything was cancelled outright. Oh well. We get in free come Saturday. Happy Birthday, hon.
The snacks were good, anyway. Of course, it was ballpark food, so that probably goes without saying. I’m dieting. I ate exactly one bite of a hot dog. #martyrproblems. Oh, and then I went and got the car, all dolled up for our inability to remember umbrellas.

Hey, I like your rain gear (who says those plastic grocery bags aren’t recycleable?) 🙂
I like your story and your attitude about the evening as well.

Happy Birthday, Scott! I hope it wasn’t a washout.

I would be so tempted to use the field tarp as my own epic Slip and Slide. I’m diggin’ your hat in that last shot.
Hope Scott’s birthday was epic too.

Love this post 😀 It doesn’t matter what the weather is like as long as you have fun 😀
I didn’t know you actually could go to a rain delay. Cool, if you can have some fun. But I need to ask, if they cancel a rain delay, shouldn’t that mean that the game is back on? Maybe I’m being too literal! 😉 Thanks for commenting on my Birthday and Writing posts, even though they both showed up on the Writing one. I had trouble with this comment earlier. Technology is confounding!

Ahaahahaaa!!!!! That is brilliantly funny. Not the technology but the rain delay. I’m going to tell that to the ball game people and watch their heads go round.
That’s too funny. Happy Birthday to Scott! A rain delay with hot dogs is not a total loss.

I’m sorry, but that sounds terrible! Unless you got to slip and slide on the tarp, that’s kind of a dreary birthday celebration. But if you made it work, kudos to you.

Well, at least it looks like it was a heck of a rain delay! Best birthday wishes to Scott.

I love that you made the best of it. In my opinion, times like this are more memorable than if you’d have just gone to a silly ole’ ball game. You rock the plastic grocery bag!

I have that same rain hat! Rain here for the next week.

Haha! I especially love the outfit you managed to put together — that hat is to die for! 😀
You crack me up! I love how happy everyone looks – you must have had a great, unconventional time. 🙂

That was so much fun for me! The thing I miss most from the good days of my marriage (there were more than a few, that’s why it took so long to split up) were when we ran into crap without lemons, still made lemonade, and came home smiling. Loved your photos and the smiles.
Happy Birthday to Scott! Shame you had to miss the actual game although it looked like you had one anyway. Good job on the prompt!
Meant had fun anyway!

The hat makes the outfit, you realize that, I hope. Looks like great fun was had by all, regardless of the rain. Hope the party was as successful as it looks in your wonderful photos. Thanks for sharing.
