Colin's First Baseball Game

Last night we took Colin to his first baseball game to see our local minor league team, the Round Rock Express. As you can tell, he thoroughly enjoyed himself. It doesn't get much cuter than that. Such a smiley little boy :-)

It was a wonderful evening with dear friends. We introduced Colin to the awesome game of baseball surrounded by people we love dearly. Grace had a blast as well, playing on the playground and dancing to the music in between innings. She was decked out in her Phillies shirt (thanks Kate and Shawn!) and made the experience authentic by whacking down an entire hot dog. Grace and Uncle Billy had fun hanging out, as we you can see from the adorable picture!

Grace wasn't a fan of the post-game fireworks, but Colin was totally intrigued by them. He watched in awe, while Grace cuddled into her Mommy. Grace kept asking me when the fireworks would be over and telling me that they were too loud!

A good time was had by all, and hopefully we'll make it back to the ballpark at least once more this summer. Family outings to baseball games rarely disappoint...I have wonderful memories of going to see baseball games when I was a kid, especially the Reading Phillies with my Pop-Pop, brother, and cousins. I want Grace and Colin to grow up with special memories. And hopefully this blog will help to commemorate the best times we've had as a family!
