Denver

In Denver we got a chance to see the Red Sox play at Coors field. This Inter-League game was important to Boston in order to avoid a sweep in Denver. The score changed several times and there were some explosive innings. The pitching by both teams was pathetic, and Boston's Ace Closer was tattood for 2 runs to tie it up in the Ninth. Thankfully, Dustin Pedroia had a career night with three dingers, the final homer scored two runs in the 10th to win 13 - 11 and avoid the sweep. What a beautiful ball park.

Outside the park, Chalupa, Big Dawg, Hefner, Peanut and Beaner pose for the crowd.
The excitement on Hefner's face is palpable. Last time Hef was in Colorado, he was crewing Buzz through 100 miles of trail outside Leadville. You can image his surprise and relief to spend his next stint in a Baseball stadium with the rest of the family.
Posing at one of many water fountains on the way to the Park.
Here we see Beaner, Peanut and Chalupa not sure what they are taking pictures of, but at least this moment was captured.

Here we see the crew standing with musical art in Downtown Denver. They really seemed to like the ambiance a piano on the sidewalk adds.

Another photogenic moment. Note the concentration.
On our way to Denver, we stopped for a Picnic lunch at Big Creek, Nebraska. A very nice place just 14 miles from the border of Colorado.
And a picture of something we are all getting used to... sitting in the car for hours and miles on end.
