Peoria Chiefs

A few weeks ago, we decided to check out the local baseball team, the Peoria Chiefs. The Chiefs are a single A affiliate of the Chicago Cubs and we decided to get tickets for a Friday night game that featured the Chiefs versus the Kansas City affiliate, the Burlington Bees. It was also Friday night fireworks! The weather was beautiful all day, but just as we were headed downtown for the game, clouds started to cover the sky and we figured the 75% chance of rain may happen. We went anyway and the game lasted until the third inning, when it was finally called due to the torrential downpour happening and lightning in the area. We used our raincheck tickets for the following weekend and caught an entire game, plus fireworks. The following are a combination of pictures from both games.



Here's Sis in Daddy's KC Royals hat. For the first game (vs. the Burlington Bees), we were all decked out in our KC Royals gear. The second game, we decided to wear red, in honor of the Peoria Chiefs.




A few shots of Jax at the game. We were on the third row, which meant great seats, but no foul balls for Daddy to catch.


Jaxon loves his Homer shirt. Homer is the Chiefs mascot. He's a dalmatian dressed as a fireman. Jax spends half the game looking for Homer. When Jaxon can't find Homer, he tells me that he must be going potty or in his dog house taking a rest. Where do they get this stuff?
