MLB

Last week we took the kids to their 1st Major League Baseball game.  Let me tell you, that was the most fun I have had at a baseball game in a long time.  The kids just loved it, I enjoyed explaining what was going on, and I think Luke just enjoyed sharing his favorite past time with them.  Kade of course now plans to play there someday when he is bigger (I have an uncle who would be so proud of this=).

The tickets we got (for super cheap thanks to a co-worker who has season tickets) were by the bull pen.  This was fun for 3 reasons:
   1.  many home runs come to this section
   2.  sitting over here scores you free "official" baseballs
   3.  you get to hear the phone ring in the bull pen and watch pitchers warm up

The kids loved our new baseballs.  I loved that a sweet old man sitting in front of us was giving the balls he caught to our kids.

This picture is just priceless, loved watching them all watch the bull pen. =)

To top off the game (like it could get any better), there was a beautiful sunset.

We also witnessed Major League Baseball history: the oldest pitcher to win a game.  This was a big deal and definitely the hi-light for Luke.
