After a lazy morning of coffee, the U.S. Open, exercise, laundry and some cleaning, we headed to The Ballpark in Arlington to watch the Texas Ranger take on the Houston Astros. I, of course, was excited to see and root on the baseball team that will always hold my heart, the Astros. The may do poorly most of the time, but I have some of the most fondest memories going to Astro games with my own wonderful-Astro-fan-of-a-father. So going to see the Stros on Father's Day was quite memorable for me. Ed does love baseball, but he loves his Cubbies probably even more than I love my Stros, so he was not going as a fan. This was only Nico's second pro-baseball game, as his first was when he was just 5 months old and we saw the Astros play the Cubs in Chicago. He was in awe of how big the ballpark was and kept forgetting that baseball was actually being played down below and not just on the big screen TV. Nico was adorable to watch as he lit up and joined right in when the various defense claps or songs came on for the audience to participate in.
With having both kids in tow, we were expecting a very short stay at the game; however they surprised us and we stayed until the end of the 4th inning; even in the heat and crowded seating area we were in! That is a pretty big deal and we can work on staying later as we possibly go to more games in the future. This was Natalee's first baseball game, so it was important to commemorate this event! Big surprise....I took a lot of pictures.
A little souvenir for each of the kids to remember today, and to symbolize Natalee's first baseball game.
