First baseball game

I love baseball.  It doesn't matter if I watch it in person or on tv.  It's the sport I like to watch(James has tried to convert me to football, not happening.  I'll watch his KState Wildcats but that's about it).  I love that we live in a city that has a professional baseball team.  Yes, they aren't very good(understatement) but how cool is it that we can drive 30 minutes and watch a professional baseball game?  I think it's cool anyway. :)

Since we have had kids, I've wanted to take them to a game.  I know they won't remember it.  I know it would probably be a game I don't get to watch.  I just wanted them to experience it.  It hasn't worked out.  For 4 years, it hadn't worked out.  Until this August... finally... we all get to go!  And why, do you ask, was August a good time to go to a baseball game with 3 kids ages 4 and under???  This is why... 

 

 

Yes, our team is so bad they give lots of stuff away so people will come to the games.  The game we went to gave everyone a good old fashion metal lunchbox!  Everyone was so excited!

 

Here are James and the older two walking up to the stadium

You gotta get a hot dog to eat at the game!

 

 

 A really big hot dog!

 G was sleepy after his hot dog(hee hee, just kidding... my hot dog was good)

 There's fun fountains to look at...

 and O wanted to ride the carousel

 S just wanted to watch

 

It was a little hot(Kansas in August, you don't believe it, do you??) so we went into the Royals Hall of Fame museum.  You can go through a museum really quickly with a 4 and almost 3 year old!  Who are very strong by the way...

 I did mention it was hot, right?  So we had to eat some ice cream.  Ice cream in a helmet can't be beat!

 

Oh, and there was a baseball game going on! :)  This is how we watched the game.  We never made it to our seats(which happened to be in the sun). 

 

 

 The kids had fun.  They talked about it for days afterwards.  Next year(which will be our year :) ) we will go again and try to watch more than half of an inning sitting in our own chairs. Hot dogs, ice cream(or yummy funnel cakes!), fountains, carousel rides included.
