It rained through the night and it was still raining when we left the house this morning to catch the bus to Toronto for the Blue Jays game. We had a good bus journey there and arrived at around midday. We wandered straight to the Rogers Stadium via the SkyWalk. We haven't been along here before and it was a nice change. It started out underground in Union Station and ended up at the CN Tower and Rogers Centre. We all had our raincoats but it had stopped by the time we got properly outside.
The kids games and entertainment finish outside in September so they only had a few things inside today. Small won another water bottle and Smallest won a puzzle. Grandma and Grandad had funny photos and then we took the lift up to the top level.
Today our seats were much lower and the roof was closed so the whole place had a different feel. It was warm and dry enough to shed our coats too. We all singed up as designated drivers and got our free 'sodas', filled our new water bottle at the water station and bought popcorn for the boys (which was far too salty).
The Blue Jays were playing the Tampa Bay Rays. It was a good game with plenty of action and the Blue Jays won 6-3. Grandma enjoyed it. Grandad loved it. Small kept Grandma informed of all that was happening and the rules etc. Smallest ate everything that was handed to him (we just took nuts and sweets).
After the game we walked a long way through Downtown Toronto, past the buildings and construction all being done in time for the PanAm games.
Eventually we got to the restaurant and sat ourselves wearily down. Grandad had a pint of Barking Squirrel and a Sexy Burger. The boys both had ice cream shakes. We all ate very well and then when it came time to pay, the waitress left a fifty dollar note on our table. Grandad and Small decided to hand it back to her - very noble.
We walked back to the station with minutes to spare and got on board. Another good journey back with Small trying to sleep and Grandma and Grandad definitely sleeping. Huffle and I watched the clouds all the way back. They were very freaky. Also there was a beautiful sunset sky.
Once home we had to put the fire on because it was quite cold in the house. The boys went to bed and we sat and had a pit of tea whilst watching TV.
Grandma has a cold. Grandad's cold has nearly gone and his swollen thumb from a Mozzie bite is getting better due to the anti-histamine he took this morning. Huffle has a runny nose and cold. I have a sore throat which could be a cold tomorrow. Freddy's cough is looser but coughy and so far Small is fine.
The cooker is not behaving well but the engineer will be here on Tuesday to write a report to take it away.
The mower part is lost on a lorry somewhere but hopefully due on Monday when MrSnail will repair it and bring it back.
