After waiting since April 7th (!!) to go to this game (silly rain delay!!), it was pouring rain the last 48 hours and as we were driving in the pouring rain we were praying the whole drive up that we would not have to turn around halfway (and disappoint our kids yet again!) like we did the last time.
leaving at 11am (when the kids "ate lunch" at 10:15) was brilliant. All the boys took a nap on the way up (A took a nap along with the babies on the way back) and our only regret was not bringing the tablet (and more snacks) to keep little d happy in the back.
AND WE MADE IT ON TIME!!! THAT NEVER HAPPENS!!! We lasted a full almost 3 innings (a record! but they were fast innings!) in our actual seats before heading to the KidsZone (mostly because of Lo. He's the worst when it comes to sitting and I have NO IDEA what I am going to do on a plane with that boy in two days).
Heaven forbid everyone all look at the camera in one picture. Yeesh.
I made sure to take our family pic early! Everyone was (mostly) happy and Lan's stinkface... well I just want to eat him up!
New Favorite Family Pic (till the wedding this weekend!)
Then we signed our waivers and made our way to Kid Heaven. Step 2 Sponsors it and It. Is. AMAZING.
My little chefs were right at home... surrounded by no less than 4 preteens fawning over them the entire time.
Little A spent most of her time in a pink house but when I found her at the train table I could not help but laugh.... that train table in our home is getting some real good use!
Private family bathrooms, helpful staff keeping kids safe and playing with them and helping clean up, and even a nursing mother's lounge.... this place is incredible. And of course Lo found this giant "mattress" type thing to jump on and "read" the words.
Panda fan Club!! An adorable group of Canadians.
Drew took little d out on the deck (Every 2 glass doors slide open, I took each of the babies out there for a short time, it was nice to watch the game outside for a bit and it is completely enclosed which is so nice! Also TV's all over the place so I could keep an eye on the game!)
Big Papi hit a home run, the Red Sox ended up winning, and we made it 8 1/2 innings at this park with 4 children 6 and under.
Winning.
Except for the fact that this was the 8th inning.... "save meeeee"
Knocked out on the way home.
Until we had to stop for gas and food an hour in... and then we had a long hour of crying and whining and all that lovely business that we just have to laugh at because at the moment we can't think about flying with these hot messes....
