TB parents, need a list! Help

A chair with a warranty!

Now that is some valuable info for softball parents, I get a kick out of all the trashed out chairs in the garbage at the ballpark toward the end of the year. We burn through chairs like mad.

We plan to purchase one of those propane portable heaters for February, November and December. A friend of mine had one this past season and we used it a few times.

As a driving Kansan I've picked up some decent chairs from California teams that flew into Boulder.

If we're only going to be there for one game...

Cold weather minimalist:
Good chair, handwarmer packets, sleeping bag, water bottle.

Hot weather minimalist:
Good chair, my long sleeved white sunblock shirt, white cap with bill, water bottle.

If we're going to be there for ages:

Cold weather:
cold weather minimalist plus: wagon, footwarmer packets, extra blankets, a book to read, a thermos with hot coffee, small cooler with extra drinks and food. Large cooler in car.

Hot weather:
hot weather minimalist plus wagon, big umbrella or pop-up or both, blankets, a book to read, small cooler with extra drinks and food. Large cooler in car.

Things I or DD mean to bring but usually forget: ibuprofen, feminine supplies, extra hair ties, bandaids, bungie cords, the Frogg Toggs.

Prozac (evens out those tense late inning nail biters)
Whiskey- do you need and excuse?
Shotgun- There may be boys at the tournament

for true 'away tournaments'

Never a bad thing to pick up some restaurant gift cards when you see deals in the "offseason".
I'd love to pre-buy my gas at Winter rates like the airlines, but so far no.

Lollypops, suckers or hard candy. It helps keeps the mouth closed when you shouldn't open it.
