Take Me Out To The Ball Game...

We had a very busy Father's Day around here! It started with a trip to get donuts with Daddy, then off to church, followed by lunch at one of Eric's fav's Pei Wei, then back home to open his present (fire pit...Eric LOVES patios and anything to do with patios!), then hit a couple of new houses out by us on the tour of homes, followed by a soccer game, a quick bite at Taco Bueno and finally to see the Drillers play in their new stadium! Busy day, I know!!!
So tonight was our first night to go to a Drillers game (minor league baseball) in their new stadium downtown. But, more importantly it was Abbie's first baseball game!! I am a worrier...I come by it honestly & can admit I have a problem. I was very worried about it being too hot & her being in the sun even though we bought tickets that we were certain would be in the shade by game time. But I kept all these worries to myself & I am glad I did because it worked out great!

Our seats were in the shade...it was a little hot but every once in a while we would get a good breeze to cool us off. Abbie did great (until the car ride home where she had a complete and total meltdown). We watched some of the game from our seats then made our way to the air conditioned gift shop for a while. Then we toured the stadium on the concourse where the wind was blowing. I am a complete germaphobe and avoid public changing stations at all cost (I have changed quite a few diapers in the back of the Volvo) but I covered it really good and let her lay down and stretch out for a little while! Then in the eighth inning she finally fell asleep while Eric & I ate dip-n-dots! The night was very successful! We even found a home run ball on our walk around the stadium to commemorate Abbie's first baseball game!

Excited about her first game!

A constant drool bucket!

Eric, Abbie & Hornsby!

This picture was very hard for me because I am a germaphobe & did not want Hornsby to hold her...but he insisted & I caved because it was kind of cute!!!

She couldn't go any longer!!
