Wednesday, 6/26/19 - Des Moines, IA

Got in late and went to bed. Night night!


Des Moines has gotten a lot of rain lately and the Des Moines River was swollen.


Walking to the ballpark from the hotel is always a treat! It was only 0.2 miles!



A little bit of history in the parking lot of the ballpark.


We are at Principal Park to see the Des Moines Cubs (AAA for the Cubs) play the Omaha Storm Chasers (AAA for the Royals).


Hi big Cub!


Hi kid sculptures!


The Des Moines Cubs cares for its patrons.




Face in a hole.


Beard in a hole?


Today's signings


Standings and Lineups


Princess day at the park


We can all hear this.


Special temporary team name. ¡Wepa!




Stephanie with Cubbie Bear and a very safe princess (for Princess Day).


Stephanie found her people!


Todd found his people!


Iowa Cubs go all American Ninja Warrior on us.


Iowa State Capitol from the ballpark


Home run Cubs!




There was a race.


The field


A special section for bicycle parking


¡ELOTE!


This guy is everyone's pal.




Catch it!


Just chilling on a rock.


This is a preview of our buddy we'll see soon in Colorado Springs! Hi Crackers!

The Storm Chasers' numbers make them look very fast!



There's the mug.


Not James Loney.

No relation to Travis

Huuuuge 50/50! Which we did not win.



The final score - those Storm Chasers just could not catch the Cubs.




We were there.

After the game we went to a local pub right by the hotel.


Though they sold other things, we had to partake in the namesake beer.

They also celebrated their team's namesake.
Stephanie: Congrats but 😢


Ready to go in the morning! Goodnight for now.
