As part of Amelia's "Summer Fun List", she mentioned wanting to take in a Cardinal's baseball game. My dad came through with free tickets, so we decided to give it a try with both kids. (Grandma came along to help, keeping the adult to kid ratio at a tolerable 3:2).
I was a little worried that Henry might be a little alarmed by the loud noises at the game. Luckily, there was so much for him to see, he didn't even seem to notice the loud crowd around us. He was VERY antsy though and poor Jason ended up pacing the stadium with Henry riding along in the Bjorn. He was fine when he was moving, but had no interest at all in sitting still on anyone's lap.
Now Miss-I'm-Not-Wearing-Cardinal-Red-Because-I-Like-This-Beautiful-Dress-Better, was perfectly content sitting in her chair (or occasionally on the laps of others, including a complete stranger who she befriended in front of us), as long as she had peanuts in hand.
We made it to the top of the 7th inning, which was far longer than I thought we would. Unfortunately the game got moved from 6:15 pm up to 3:15 pm and we didn't found out about it until the day of the game. It was a pretty warm day, too, so by the time we left everyone was sweaty and exhausted!
We had such a good time, though, that we are going to give it another try next weekend with more grandparents in tow and more free tickets! This time, however, we are leaving Mr. Antsy Pants behind!
