Take me out to the BALLgame

This summer we are taking advantage of a lot of the different opportunities available to us in West Michigan. At the end of June we went to Fifth Third Ball Park with a few of our friends from small group to watch a Sunday afternoon game. Mind you, there were a few pop up bouts of rain, but they didn't last long, and after a few "delays" the game was underway. The kids didn't mind at all since it was a warm rain and they were having fun playing despite the lack of baseball. Lawn seats, were definitely the right choice since eight of the spectators in our group were under 8 years old! It was a fun day, but since it took so long for the game to start we didn't end up staying until the end. As an added bonus, the ballpark gave us free tickets to another game since we waited so long for the game to begin. That will be a perfect outing for Scott, Carter, and Ella! Here are a few pictures, I had to go back to June to catch up on some of my blogging. This has been such an absolutely beautiful summer that we've been out and about enjoying all the wonderful-ness....which doesn't leave me a lot of extra time for blogging!

We were welcomed into the stadium by "Super Why"...... how thrilling to see a cartoon walking around. Carter was border-line speechless.

It was something to watch them cover and uncover the field. Getting settled on the lawn, only to have to pack up and move a couple times to stay "some-what dry"

Rain delay

Looks like the sun is coming back out.
Carter even ended up finding a friend from daycare who was there with his parents. It is so funny to see 4 year olds "discover" someone in a different setting.

Playing on the lawn....the attention span wasn't that long!
Looking forward to our trip to the new Target Field in August for another baseball game.
