At the park we had two seats up top in the ADA section for wheelchairs and the other four seats were down in the front row IN THE SUN AND BLOCKED BY WIND! Needless to say I spent a small fortune, looking for blankets a winter hat and sweatshirt for Ralph. I brought in one rain poncho because it was supposed to rain and I thought I’d at least use that to cover Ralph and the wheelchair, but we never got rain so I wore it as a wind block.
Last year at a game, Ralph’s wheel came off his chair and we got to do absolutely nothing but sit at our seats and wait for maintenance to bring us a screwdriver, so my brother and I could try and pry the tread back on the wheel. That was the first time we’d been at the stadium so we couldn’t explore or anything. This time coming out of the metro at the stadium, somehow Lexi fell and face planted onto the street, in the crowd, and hurt her knee and ankle. We would’ve helped her except we all kept walking right along to the front gate to get in and had no idea she had fallen behind us. Lol. 😂 Some random stranger stopped to help her until she could get up and then her sister realized she wasn’t with us anymore, and turned around and saw that something had happened and somebody was helping her up. So a trip to the first aid station was at the top of the list for Band-Aids.
I feel like some Royals mojo is telling me we’re not meant to watch the Nationals live!!
Enjoy the laugh!
