Allen goes to New York

Let me start out by saying, (for Danny's peace of mind) we are not Yankee fans, but we do love baseball so when Allen got a chance to go to Yankee stadium and see them play before this stadium is torn down, of course he went. He made the trip last Friday with his friends, Mike Talkington and his son Mikey (who are huge Yankee fans) and Nick Fantasia. They drove up on Friday, watched the evening game (the Yankees won), stayed the night and came back on Saturday. They met up with some people that Mike knew from the area and treated them with authentic Fairmont pepperoni rolls and hot peppers. (that was probably the highlight of the trip for the New York people.)

Here's the crew that went - Mikey, Allen, Mike and Nick

Yankee Field

The whole group, plus a gentlemen that goes to all the home Yankee games. He's a legend at the stadium. (I wonder how he feels about the stadium being demolished)


A view of the scoreboard. Check out the number 57 - that is the number of games left to play in the stadium on the night they were there.
UPDATE ON THUMMS- The Thumms are still holed up in their "home away from home waiting on work to begin on their house. They haven't heard anything about when it will be started. Needless to say, it is not a lot of fun being away from their home. They have to take Danny to school and pick him up - 22 miles each way. They are trying to get the insurance company to find them a place a little closer, but no luck so far. Kerri called me yesterday and said "when you think it can't get any worse, it does. The cable is off in the motel". Aaron kept handing her the remote control and wanting her to turn his cartoon back on. Just pray that work will start on their house soon and things can get back to normal. (I know everyone misses Kerri's posts on her blog, but she doesn't have access to her computer.)
