Take me out to the ball game

Thursday (yesterday) was Family Night at Melaleuca Field. We decided to take Sydney to a baseball game. It cost us each $1 to get in and $1 for each of us to get a hot dog and drink. Quite a deal! Sydney was so excited all day long. Mostly I think she was just excited to be going out by herself with us (we left Payton at Grandma's). During the bottom of the 2nd Inning Sydney very quietly leaned over and whispered in my ear, "I wish I could just go to Grandma's." What??? I thought we were having fun. We were eating cotton candy and hot dogs and coloring-- we brought back up. I couldn't believe she was bored already. She lasted until the bottom of the 5th and then we decided to go. Our decision was based on two things. Number 1: It was already past both girls' bedtime. Number 2: The jerks behind us were drunk and swearing. Yeah, what a 'family night' at the ball park! We did have fun for the first half of the game and when Sydney is a little older I'm sure she'll enjoy it more, too.

It's such a bummer that the all american sport can be spoiled by rude drunks. Sounds like it would've been way fun - and I'm impressed Sydney made it that long. Yay for baseball and hotdogs!

Thats a funny story. I think baseball games are fun also, but they totally get boring after awhile (unless you know whats going on i suppose).
Oh- Dayna, do you think next saturday, or the week of the 4th would work to take syd to Wall-e? I am sure i will talk yto you more about it, but just let me know if one day works better than the other.
