Camden Riversharks

Last night we went with 8 other families from our mini-church to a watch a Camden Riversharks minor league baseball game. If you know anything of Camden's reputation it is currently the murder capitol of the US! Nice. However there is a small area along the waterfront that they've attempted to clean up...this is where the aquarium is that we frequent as well as the Rivershark's stadium, Campbell Field...as in Campbell's soup which is headquartered in Camden.

The stadium is situated at the base of the Ben Franklin Bridge which takes you from NJ into Philadelphia. It's actually a really pretty setting with a nice view of the city. The girls enjoyed the game...well maybe not the actual game but the fact that they were seated amongst 8 other little girls from our church group. I'm not sure how much of the game they really saw...but I know they enjoyed the food and all the music and dancing!


Brooke seemed a little overwhelmed by all the noise and lights at first...but eventually she calmed down and started to enjoy the music and clapping. She may look more like me, but she is becoming quite the Daddy's girl!
We had a great time. All 3 girls stayed awake on the ride home but were asleep within seconds of their heads hitting their pillows!

thanks for reporting so quickly on the game - just like your girls we usually go more for the hanging out with friends than actual watching of the game!

Sorry we missed it...Joe was so convinced that it was going to rain and thunder and lightning, he wanted no part of Camden in those circumstances....Lissa said it was a great night!
