Baseball

The sprint to the end of summer with nightly activities all week included a night at the Rangers game on Wednesday. We got tickets super cheap through Daron’s work and Alex is always up for cotton candy.

Unfortunately, Sydney thought “going to the baseball game” meant that she was going to get to play baseball like we do in the front yard. She eventually calmed down. The seats were in a good spot (once the sun finally was down) and had a good view of the game and the scoreboard. Our niece and nephew joined us and Andrew is a huge Rangers fan, so the evening was going to be a hit with him regardless. It made it even more exciting for him because it was Pudge Rodriguez's first night back as a Ranger.

Considering the heat, I am proud that Sydney and Alex ended up making it about two and a half hours at the ballpark. So by the 5th inning, it was 9 p.m. and they were ready to call it a night. Overall the game was a lot of fun but the kids were more interested in other things…Alex and his aforementioned love of cotton candy (and who can blame him) and Sydney wanting to check out the restrooms and the stairs.

The drive home was another story. Various roads were only one way in Arlington because of the game and the Paul McCartney concert and we encountered at least 3 construction spot on the freeways. In the end, we made it home very late and were, needless to say, exhausted.
