Well, that's just what Keith and I did with the kids about a week ago. The Greenvile Drive is a farm team for the Boston Red Sox (of course we cheer for the Indians), but it's a lot of fun going downtown and seeing some baseball. It's a really nice stadium, not a bad seat in the house, and they always have fun things for the kids to do/watch between innings. They even have a grassy area for families to sit and an enclosed playground. Last time we ventured out to a game we had to leave early because Kaleb cried every time the fans yelled, clapped their hands, cannons went off for a home run, etc. Needless to say, it was not fun for anyone! It's been over a year since we went to a game and figured we'd try it again. Well, this time Kaleb loved it:) There was no crying or covering his ears and he even yelled go team! Kassidy was VERY into the game and wanted to know everything about baseball...talk about a lot of questions! Good thing Keith was there so there were two of us to answer her.
This guy in the picture below was hilarious!!! He is the mascot for the baseball hall of fame and was visiting us this night. His name is Reggie and Kassidy still talks about him:) He would do really funny things like go up to the first base coach and kick him, leap frog over him, smell his behind and then fall down...very funny! The second pic below shows another funny moment. Reggie brought out this inflatable monkey (at first it wasn't inflated) then took the monkeys banana and made the monkey magically walk and dance and jump. The kids got a kick out of this one and wondered how he made the monkey do those things! Of course there was a person inside the monkey but they didn't figure it out.
Of course it wouldn't be a baseball game without yummy snacks! You can see Kassidy just loved her cotton candy! And Kaleb actually had a little bit then licked the rest off of his fingers. For you who know how picky he is we were both suprised by this:)
The game started at 7 and we managed to keep the kids attention until about 9. They were pretty worn out from not having naps but were real troopers. When we're out late with the kids Keith and I always have a bet who will fall asleep first and how long it will take them to fall asleep. Well, this time I won because I said Kassidy would fall asleep first and fall asleep within 5 min. Keith actually was a very close second because Kaleb fell asleep just minutes after that and so did Karson! Makes bedtime much easier:)
And just a cute pic I snapped recently...
I love the pictures!
