Take me out to the ballgame

Last night we went to our first baseball game of the season.

The kids & I anyway.

Creag had already been once this year.

Opening Day is his thang, & he never-ever misses one.

It was rainy & a little chilly last night, but that didn't stop us from using our tickets.

We got to the ballpark a little early.

We were planning on trying to catch batting practice, but it was cut short due to rain.

We improvised & checked out the new additions to the kids area instead.

They've really made some nice improvements.

And the kids enjoyed every minute of their playtime.

First they checked out the new slide that goes down to a lower level w/ an artificial turf playing area.

What we didn't know is that there was a tall gate that was locked because of the rain & the kids couldn't get back up to the level that we were on.

Skylar was the only one that actually went down the slide & she was locked down there for a few minutes until they could find the key to open the gate.

WHOOPS!

Skylar, finally free!!!

You can see the guy by the gate locking it back.

I'd say they should block the slide too dontcha think?!

Next, they headed over to the wiffle ball area.

They loved it!

Skylar was up first....

Then my man Hank.

That boy can hit!

I can't wait until he starts baseball in the spring.





And last but not least, WyWy

He's running for first....

He has the absolute cutest run right now!

He leans forward, & runs on his tippy toes:)

Adorable

After all of that excitement, we finally made it to our seats.

Out in the outfield, about 8 rows up.

Not to shabby.

And

Free too!!

 I won them in a drawing at work earlier in the week.



There weren't to many people fans there because of the weather.

It had rained before the game, but stopped in time for the first pitch.

Then, it started raining about 3 innings into the game.

We tried to be good sports & sit through it.

SELF PORTRAIT FAIL!

I KINDA LIKE IT THOUGH!

But eventually had to get up & move around.

This is the best picture I got of us....

Blurry, with Wyatt crying on my shoulder & Creag looking away from the camera.

TYPICAL!

All in all, we had lots of fun.

Hopefully the next time we catch a game it'll be on the River....

 from the boat!!

Bring on Firework Friday's!
