Second baseball game in three days

We must be crazy. Mr. D woke us up from naps at 5:30... We were planning on maybe not even going to a game this week because of rain but he checked the weather and it was perfect and 20 minutes later we were on the road stuffing the kids faces with snacks and listening to "Red Sox baby" and Disney DVDs.

Two hour drive each way.

Obviously Wally had to make the trip.

The weather was perfect even if the drive involved more crying than I ever want to deal with ever. LOVE this girl when she is NOT restrained in a car. And kitty is 2 for 2 on surviving the baseball this year.

Cheering on the Red Sox as they lost to the Indians.

Then I snuck off with A and found an incredible kidspace... Toys, games, baby climbing structures...is this real life?! All for FREE (with admission, but how else would you get in ?) We should have stayed here the whole game instead of only two innings.

AND you could open a window or walk out on the deck and watch the game. Or on one of the dozen tvs. And there were like 20 family restrooms, every one with a changing station. Um... If we lived in Cleveland or even within an hour I would get season passes for access to this room alone. AMAZING. Every ballpark should have one! 

Once again both kids were troopers, little d even caught a ball (bounced off someone's glove as we were walking to our seats and rolled next to his feet!!) and both kids went to bed after 10:30 again. Love these stinkers and hopefully this new family tradition will just get better and easier as they get older!

Go Red Sox!

First baseball game (of at least 3) of the season

First baseball game of 2014 at the clippers. So excited. (Even kitty came with us!)

We came late but lasted two hours. Wayyyy past bedtime but you couldn't tell. Good thing I brought enough kix to snack on and spill all over the grass.

Her first minor league baseball games of 2013 and 2014, respectively. July 2013 was in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. May 2014 was columbus Ohio. Aside from more personality and mobility she hasn't changed much ;) still chunky and bald.

Little d's first celtics game

In addition to attending just about every college sporting event before he turned one, He's been to his first Major League Baseball, lacrosse and now NBA game, all within less than a year after that. He wasn't perfect but he was stinking awesome for a two year old at his first game. Special thanks to the Ainges for giving us four seats so we were able to spread out. :) also we got to see our old pal Jimmer Fredette, and while it was fun watching the Celtics crush the Kings, we were excited to see a BYU cougar out on the court and even make a basket or two.

I felt bad towards the end of the game (which was entirely past his bedtime by hours) when he asked to go home, I convinced him to wait to see Kevin Garnett do the "Gino dance" (go look it up if you don't know what I'm talking about), but in the end he didn't do it, even though it was a blowout. Little d was so bummed but at least he zonked out on the car ride home.
