The beloved Redlegs lost 9-6, but it was still a fun game to watch. Mike picked up a score card and showed Taylor how to keep score. I was surprised by how into the game she was. Michael was fascinated too and kept yelling "Go, go" and "Bat, ball." The Reds shoot off fireworks when they hit home runs, which the Worm LOVED and the Pear HATED. Poor kid cried both times. Of course, there were snacks, beer (for us big kids), chants and all of the other fun baseball game stuff. I forgot how much fun games are!
The Boys.
The Girls.
Mike explaining the 6-4-3.
Taylor happy.
Taylor REALLY happy. Her eyes are the same color as the cotton candy.
Look how close we are to field.
Edwin Encarnacion had 4 RBI but it wasn't enough.
I've always like Craig Counsell. Maybe it's because he's one of the few players older than me.
Michael after a wardrobe change. Nothing like stylin' in the eighth inning with jammies and sunglasses.It was 11 p.m. by the time we got back to the car (yes, we made it through nine innings with two young children. woot.) and we figured the kids would fall asleep fast. They stayed awake the entire 50 minute ride home! They were completely slap happy. Michael kept yelling "Miiiiike" at his daddy, followed by an eruption of giggles. I turned around to see these:
...cheesy grin, car seat straps thingy pushed down and cotton pulled out of the (once) tiny hole in his car seat fabric. What a stinker!
Now that I know that the brood is capable of handing a game, we'll be going back to the old ball game!
Until next time,
Mommy Kel

Oh. My. God. I just want to bite Taylor & her cuteness in that cotton candy picture! I LOVE IT! And that picture of Michael in his car seat says it all. Can I tell you again how much I wish we lived closer so we could do these things with you guys?
