First Ranger Game

I prematurely took Vince to his first baseball game... well, maybe not prematurely, but under the wrong circumstances. It was a department outing for my company so we could bring family and friends. I thought it was a perfect excuse to spend extra time with my baby whlie showing him a sport we don't normally watch.. because he knows soccer, football, basketball, but baseball, not so much. There were a couple key problems to my flawless plan:

1) I was going alone. No David to help me carry Vince to and from the parking lots, and he wanted to be carried!

2) The game was at 1pm. This is prime naptime for Vince. I mistakely thought he would take a nap on the drive in. We drove for a long time and no nap!!

So we went to the game... and at first he was pretty calm bc he was tired... then he fell asleep basically standing up between my legs. I positioned him better for a good nap... then got a couple good pics to remember our first time at the ball park...

He woke up after a bit.. was pretty cranky... then said he wanted to go to mommy's house. So we left in the 7th inning (turns out the game went to 12!).. and I carried him all the way to the car!!! that was hard.

And he had the most fun in the parking lot because we parked in front of a bunch of trains. We sang train songs while we heard trains in the distance. He always thinks he hears trains.. but these were really trains..

So although the trip didn't go as planned... I did get to watch the game while he was asleep and he did learn a little about baseball... all in all a good time was had :)
