We started our baseball weekend off with a t-ball game. Andrew did great! It was nasty hot and after all the storms we have had, it was VERY humid. I ended up getting my first sunburn of the year (just on the top of my thighs from sitting out there. And yes, it looks very attractive.)
Then we celebrated Andrew's birthday at the ballpark. He got to invite 3 friends from school and we braved the WARM weather to watch the Rangers. (Our seats were in the shade so it was a little better.) Of course I hadn't realized that my little boy is fanatical about baseball but not every child is. So after one inning, we had one little boy total enthralled with the game and three who were whining that they were hungry. After a few innings we went down to center field where they have a kids "fun area". The boys got to bat a little and eat a little and even got tattoos. We didn't make it to the end of the game when we had had enough of wrangling wild boys so we left early. Actually it turned out alright. As we were heading out of the ballpark, dark clouds rolled in with thunder and lighting and rain. We made it to the car before it started to pour and heard on the radio that they were evacuating the upper levels anyway because of the lighting. Andrew was crushed to not see the end of the game so we will have to go again with just the family.
I think Alyssa and I are all baseball-ed out for the week. Andrew, on the other hand, is just getting started.
