I planned the Knights game for the youth group last minute. I mentioned it to our youth council at our meeting Monday and then mentioned it to a few youth on Wednesday. I had a youth call around to some people Thursday to see if there was interest. By Friday, we had about 26 people going and I reserved tickets.
We ended up having a really, really good time. The girls were absolutley fascinated by Home the Dragon and even when he wasn’t in sight, they watched the game. That is of course between all the eating. By the end of it, they had had a little bit of chicken, hot dog, cotton candy, funnel cake, ice cream and slushie. Yeah. They were full of sugar. They also had a merry go round and slides and air jump thingies I let them go on for a little bit. Even after the game (which we won) NewSong came out and set up in front of first base and gave us a great concert. It was 9 by then and Lexi stayed in my arms and fought sleep, but in a sweet way. Emma stayed with Scott so we both got to enjoy the concert. It was actually almost like a small worship service which was really cool out in a baseball stadium. A lot of people had left after the game and everyone had moved over to the stands in front of first base. Nate Sallie was there doing most of lead singing, not sure if he’s actually part of NewSong or not. We left around 10:15 or so and they weren’t even done yet. I think everyone had a really good time and I’m glad we went.
