Baseball and summer meet at a classic spot... St. Louis! We took the grandkids to a Cardinal game last night. First ever for Rhy, first since infancy for Ash, and first for Gabe since he became a true fan of the game! We had the best time! Rode down on the Metrolink, fun going.. very crowded returning.. but all part of the grand adventure!Food such as hotdogs, juice boxes, and of course, COTTON CANDY, was consumed by all present... well, I am not sure Papa ate any cotton candy. The Cards cooperated by beating the Houston Astros 4-3.
Gabriel kept score throughout the entire game and his dreams of playing in the "big leagues" got even bigger as he watched Albert Pujols, Rick Ankiel, and Yadier Molina do their stuff. His eyes were HUGE the whole evening.
No one got crabby, no one complained, no one got lost- not even grandma! We were all up very late but came home happy! What a fun time!
Funniest/most ironic moment? Less than 5 minutes after Papa took the boys on a bathroom expedition, a Cardinal hit the only Home Run of the game which always triggers fireworks and great whooping from the fans. Our boys.. well, let's just say they only "heard" it from the facilities. Good thing the Cards won so we (or some of us) got to see fireworks twice!
Dream big, little man!

Looks like they all had a good time! Gabe is paying way more attention to that game, than I ever would. Last year, we went to Stich n Pitch, so we were knitting while watching the Brewer's play. We didn't get there this year.
It's fun looking at your pictures of the ballpark, when we were just down there, by the Arch, looking at the ballpark from the Arch! We didn't actually walk over by the ballpark, though. It was too hot.
I was lucky I got people to walk south of the Arch far enough, so I could get a picture of the fountains on the other side of the courthouse! LOL! (I'm hot. I'm hungry. I'm tired. And I have big kids!)
