Slam!  Crack!  Pop!  These were the sounds I heard at the baseball games my family went to this summer.  I went to one night game and one day game.

The first game I went to was during the day in Colorado.  The Rockies played.  While we were there, I ate French fries with ketchup.  I saw a few home runs, and I got a hat and a shirt with one of the best center fielders, Charlie Blackmon’s name on it.

The other game I went to was at night in Charlotte, North Carolina.  I was there with friends and family.  We had Dippin’ Dots and French fries.  I also had one of the practice coaches give me a ball that the team used to get ready for the game.

Both of these games were awesome, and I will never forget this summer.

My family was driving to Charlotte, North Carolina.  We got there the day after.  

My family arrived at the house.  We all loved it there.  We ate some dinner because it was so late.  

I wish we could have stayed longer because we love it there.  I hope we get to go there again soon.  

We saw lots of bunnies and deer.  We climbed the Great Sand Dunes.  

We went to a Knights game with our family.  We all wished they would hit us a fly ball, but they didn’t.  They gave us one though.  Then we left.
