Take me out to the ballgame...

We went out to a Beaver's (minor league) game tonight. We forgot the camera (of course) so no great photos or anything, but a little write up at least.

We HARDLY watched the game. We took Caitlin's little friend Margaux (and Margaux's Dad - Paul- came as well), so we ended up dividing our time between keeping them occupied (chasing them down or bouncy castle in the Kidz Zone), and getting food. Isn't that always the way it is? I couldn't even tell you what the score was, who was winning, or which team was actually the Beavers (navy uniforms or white? who knows?). It was entertaining. The seats were about 1/40th full (if that) and we ended up sitting up on the picnic tables by the fence. At one point, there was a foul ball (but grounder) and the team guy that fielded it threw it up to the stands where we were sitting. It about hit a poor old guy in a wheelchair (wouldn't that have been a fiasco?), and two kids ended up getting it. I could have taken them both down and gotten the ball, but I restrained myself. = )

Anyway, it was fun and enlightening. I doubt we will do it again until the kiddos are older. Luckily, we got to use our Entertainment book coupons, so the tickets were all half price. There are some benefits to that book. Sure wish we had brought the camera. What am I gonna' fill this blog with, my own jibber jabber and no photos. Can't imagine anyone is going to read it then. Until next time, with a camera!
