We wore layers. Kept them on.

Here we are checking out the view from a handicap section before the game. As seniors, we arrive early so the game doesn't start without us and we lose our place.
April outdoor baseball games are always going to be dicey in Minnesota, but we layered up today and took our chances. No problem. There was a bit of a wind chill, but we were okay through eight, then sat in the shuttle bus as the game slipped out of control. Other than one or two exciting innings, the Twins were as cold as the weather, losing 10-6 to a mediocre Kansas City. But we never got rain and so counted our blessings and left the plastic sheets in the camera bag. The fan seated next to us must have heard it was going to be 55 degrees today. He was wearing bermudas and flip flops as he sipped his $7 cold beer. He must not be from around here.
