Take Me Out to the Ballgame!

Tonight we enjoyed an evening of Colorado baseball. The weather was perfect, the boys were well behaved (I swear it!) and Grandpa Green was able to join us. We even saw Mrs. Kravitz's family on the jumbo tron. Other than the creepy, black, military helicopters that kept flying over the stadium (prepping for the upcoming DNC convention) and miserable traffic on the way up, it was a FABULOUS night.

While we all love to take in a ball game, I've decided our reasons are radically different.

Reasons we love to go see the Rockies:

Diamond: Watching the game and a fun evening with the boys

Me: Sitting outside on a beautiful evening and watching the boys get all excited

BB#1: Watching the game and the free stuff they give away (tonight was a replica of the 2007 League Championship trophy)

BB#2: Ice-cream and the Seventh Inning Stretch

The Caboose: Dinger (the Rockie's mascot) and seats and flip up and down

I once heard a bit of advice that went something like this: develop family pastimes and traditions that will bring your children together, even as they become teenagers and adults. So, even though the Rockies lost (7-1 Braves) we, as a family, won. (Way too cheesy?? Oh well...)
