River Bandits Baseball Game

Riley was involved in a reading program at school that awarded him for a free ticket to the River Bandits Game. On the way to the game we took picture of the flooding at LeClaire Park downtown Davenport (picture #2). This was April 27th. It got a lot worse before it got better. The picture of Riley standing near the sand bags was just a couple of feet in front of the entrance gates at the ball field. Water was actually seeping through the sand bags. We were told that during the game the flooding rose another foot. The game the next night was cancelled because of the flooding. The parking lot that we usually park in was totally flooded with feet of water. Riley was in the a parade at the beginning of the game. Picture number 3 is of him and our friend Joel Thiessen (on the left of Riley). The last picture is of Riley coming into homeplate after running the bases after the game. The River Bandits wont he game that day.
