My boss was out here from Florida this week visiting and taking care of some things at headquarters. He's also a big baseball fan (he goes to a lot of Marlin's baseball games) and decided to treat us all to a baseball game at Franklin Covey Field to see the local minor league team, the Salt Lake City Bees play. Sunny had Young Women's so it was just Hyrum and I who go to enjoy the game.
We got up there right after the first pitch and I was surprised how good Hyrum was. He'd have his moments of wiggiliness, but for the most part he was really well-behaved. Luckily there were a few other people who had brought their kids, and so they were able to entertain one another. Hyrum was so fascinated with one little boys baseball mitt.
We endured a swarm of gnats and a little sprinkle of rain, but otherwise couldn't have asked for a better night for a baseball game. Unfortunately, the Bees fell to their Oklahoma opponents 7-4. Toward the end of the night, Hyrum just sat contently in my lap watching the game. We had a good time and look forward to many more baseball games in the future.
