Batter Up!

James participated in the library summer reading program and one of the prizes was two tickets to an Astros game! So we bought one more for me (Matthias is still free) and went down last night for a family outing. We had a great time! James was very interested in the game and Taylor told him everything that was happening. Matthias was happy to sit in his own seat and eat "bees" (grahm crackers shaped like bees).




After about one inning Matthias and I went to wander around and stretch. While he was running around outside the photography booth one of the guys opened the door to watch him and then rolled a ball out to him...Matthias was ecstatic! He started chasing it everywhere and the really nice man said we could keep it! Everyone started asking me where he got it...apparently there had been a home run that we missed...guess I should have asked the guy who gave it to us. But we are just assuming Matthias got the home run ball. He was so happy with it and held it tight all night and all the way home.



We left during the 5th inning (already 2 hours past bed time). The boys had so much fun and I am really glad we went! All the picture are of Matthias since I spent the whole time chasing him around. James pretty much just sat in Taylor's lap the whole time, so I only have one picture of him. Now James is asking me to be the pitcher...better go!
