Cubs game last nite was sooooooooo fun.
We were really worried that we were going to get to Chicago and then get rained on and not be able to go to the game. That was not the case at all though. We were under the awning so even if it did rain (which it did for like 10 minutes) we wouldnt get wet. On the way down there there wasnt even an ounce of traffic which was really lucky on our behalf. We rode the subway to the game which I was kind of scared of getting lost, but Burpee is a master navigator so Im not sure why I was worried. I got kind of "Thomased" and had to sit and watch the Cubs practice like 2 hours before the game. The good thing about showing up early though, is that you get 25% off all food and drinks up to an hour before the game. We got 4 hotdogs, a brauworst, a brownie ice cream sandwich and a pop for $17. Not bad. Especailly since parking ended up costing $27. TOo bad the Cubs lost, but for a long while we had hope that they might pull it off. After the game Burpee and I took all of the leftover suvinaner cups that people left. We ended up collecting 50 of them!!! Everyone kept looking at us funny on the subway and as we were walking through town with our 50 cups, but we liked it.
Oh yeah, and all of the monkeys got to go in teh car with us. Burpee made sure they wore their seatbelts, don't worry.
