Father, son, hot dogs, baseball and fire works. Does it get better than that on an August evening? Not for me, not last Friday.

My eight year old son, Jack, myself and two neighbors and their sons went to USA National Training Center atThomas Brookes park to watch Team USA play Team Canada.

It was very cool to see the field with the Olympic Rings and the Town of Cary logo, seriously how many towns have a picture like that one!

Everything about the night was perfect, except the final score, but the game was very exciting. Team USA hit a home run, the fireworks seemed to last almost as long as the game and the boys were exhausted by the time we pulled into the driveway ( a whopping five minutes after we got into the car!).

The players from both teams were extremely gracious, signing autographs tossing balls to the crowd and just really enjoying what I am sure is a highlight for them as well.
