Sunday was baseball day! Kim had planned the ballgame a couple of months ago as one of my Father's Day gifts. She did such a great job!
Michael decided to sleep in a bit so our day began a little later than normal. First on our agenda was a visit to Molly and Andy's, who live a few minutes from downtown St Pete. Molly and Kim were sorority sisters at Winthrop. Also, visiting this weekend was another sister of Kim's, Kelli, and her boyfriend Mike.
As we were getting ready, Michael felt that he was not quite clean enough so tried to join Mama in the shower :) He loves the tub and this has become somewhat of a new habit, throwing the curtain to the side and working his way to the water!
So, finally baseball time!!! Michael caught a quick 15 minute nap on the way to Tropicana Field and we arrived.
What was so great is that Kim had really planned this event well! My first pro game, in 1982, was the Twins and Royals in Kansas City...Michael's first game was also the Royals! It was Family Fun Day at "The Trop!" Not only great seats by the picnic area and Royals bullpen, but free hot dog, drink, and cracker jack, too! If the Lil Dude was walking, he could've run the bases afterwards.
Michael absolutely LOVED being at the Park! He enjoyed watching all of the people, even playing peek-a-boo with the ladies in front of us...He liked clapping along to the music and all of the rally chants, etc. The Lil Dude did sooooo great!!! We, as usual, recieved a lot of compliments from the people around us on how well-behaved he was(especially for only having a 15 minute nap.) Of course, all of this action going on and he really couldn't have cared less that he was witnessing a no-hitter into the 8th inning!!! Shields lost it as well as the game in the 8th, however. Michael finallay did fall asleep, shortly there after, sometime during the 8th...Didn't even flinch when the diesel horn went off in the 9th for a home run...He was OUT!!!
What a terrific day!!! Enjoy some more pics...
