greater kansas city day

for the fourth year in a row opening day for the Royals (also known as Greater Kansas City day) did not start off well weather-wise. unlike last year, this morning was warm but no sooner did we start selling newspapers (as a fundraiser for Rotary Club #13 and the Rotary Youth Camp), it started to rain. and rain. and hail. and thunder. and lightning. and rain some more.

we tried 2 attempts at selling papers, both times having to stop due to lightning. you can't say we didn't try!

it was nice to see the sun come out just in time for the first pitch and it stayed out the entire game. unfortunately, the royals lost but it was still a great way to spend a day!
