My brother works for an awesome company that buys season tickets to the local Triple A baseball club. We took advantage of some of those great tickets and took the family to the baseball game on Tuesday the 23rd. I was anticipating an evening of whining, complaining, fighting, and ending with us all coming home by 8pm.
I'm SO glad I was wrong in ALL my assumptions.
We had the. best. time. ever. I could not have asked that my children behave better, have more fun, or spent more quality time together. It was simply the best. However, the best part for Kaelyn was that she was asked to play tug-of-war with Rubarb (the team mascot) ON the field in the middle of the 6th inning. She learned a lot about baseball while she was "counting down" the innings until she got to meet up with the fun squad, meet rubarb and make her way onto the field. She pulled and pulled and pulled until the backup catcher came out of the dug out and "assisted her" in winning the game. Rubarb, of course, was devastated that Kaelyn won and Kaelyn was ecstatic that she had defeated him! LOL It was darn cute. I wish that I would have charged my camera battery before we left as I wasn't able to take a video of it. I did however catch a few pictures of the night. :)
We came home very late, stayed for the whole game and had tons of fun. I can't wait to do it again. Thanks Jason for getting us the tickets!!!
