Baseball: The All-American Pasttime?

Whew! I do NOT have time to be blogging, but I have been wanting to post this for the past week. Last Sunday (as in 8/5), we went to a Tampa Bay Devil Rays baseball game. Now, one of the advantages of having a pretty awful team close by is that you can get cheap tickets (as long as they're playing a non-demand team). I'm talking $8. Now that's cheaper than going to the movies. They also have free parking. Well, we had never taken the kids to a major league baseball game. We used to go to spring training games when the Cardinals played in St. Pete, but they moved and we haven't gone. The Braves (hubby's favorite team) play spring training in Orlando, but it's at Disney and expensive! We had a great time! The kids really thought it was a blast. I was so relieved!


Here are Landon, Chase and Gerren before the game.


Carys slept for an hour and did remarkably well otherwise for an
18 month old!


Oh, yeah! It was lunch box day and the first 7500 kids in the park
got free lunch boxes. I'm not sure there were 7500 PEOPLE in the park!


Dad was there, too! For once he was taking most of the pictures.
