The day after the wedding a bunch of folks stuck around and went to a Pittsburgh Pirates Baseball game at PNC Park in downtown Pittsburgh. It's a beautiful ballpark with views of the city. We got great seats with a half-price deal for only $12 each and enjoyed taking over our part of the section. Pirates games are not what I would call well-attended, so we had our pick of seats.One of my favorite parts of any baseball game is singing Take Me Out to the Ball Game at the 7th inning stretch. Here is Ania singing "One, Two, Three Strikes you're out at the Old Ball Game!":
Zoe, Mark, Jerri and Jerri's mom Kathi and brother Ross all came to the game as well. Here's Zoe looking cute in her sun hat:
It was kind of a warm day, so we switched between sitting in the sun and sitting in the shade. One of the most unique traditions at a Pirates game is seeing the Pierogie races. Yes, people dressed up as Pierogies run around the warning track. I was rooting for the green one carrying a purse and she won! It added an element of humor to an otherwise lackluster showing for the Pirates.
It was so fun to go to yet another major league ballpark, and with such great people. Jerri and Mark and Ania and Ken had evening flights to catch, and I had a 5 hour drive home ahead of me, so we all headed out around 4pm. It was a wonderful, relaxing and fun way to end an amazing weekend. I hope we all get to hang out again sometime soon!

What great photos! The close up of Zoe is way too cute. I'm so glad my mom and bro got to go, too. By the way, my mom's name is spelled "Kathi" with an "i." No biggie, though. Super fun weekend! Miss you already. It went by way too fast!
Oops! Thanks for the correction! All fixed now. And yes, it did go by way too fast.
