Take Me Out to the Ball Game

Last week we went to an Astros game with all the kids. It was their first one and they had a great time. We only stayed about an hour in our seats and then went to the play area for a little while.

They were in awe when they first sat down and loved the national anthem. They got dinner in their seats and had a fun time running down the stairs right up to the field.

Livy got into cheering with Eric. Whatever he did, she did.

Colt loved watching everything going on there but of course wanted to climb on, under, and over anything he could find. So it was nice when he would sit for a minute.

Livy could have stayed longer. She is so observant and loves just looking around and taking everything in. She said she liked sitting there as long as she had something to eat! She wanted a picture with the train in the background so that's what the one below is of. It is hard to see but it is just on top of the yellow wall.

Rachel was not in the mood for pictures this night. That was all I could get her to do if I wanted her in front of the camera. Earlier while she was eating she was smiling and dancing to the music in her seat. Wish I would have gotten a picture of that.

Colt's new "cheese" face. He finally knows what a camera is and he even says cheese when he does this. Funny boy!

The scary face caught on. Now Livy too. Here's the gang at the game.

Down in the kids area there is a huge play gym and a few baseball things for them to try. They raced against this huge wooden runner and got to run the "bases." Livy was a little scared of it. Rachel took a turn batting too. The kids had a fun time and have asked to go back already because they want to show the baseball game to some of their animals.
