Take Me Out to the Ballgame!!

On Friday night, Chris' company hosted a summer outing at Comerica Park. We decided to bring Levi along for his first Major League ballgame "among the general folk", he's actually been to Comerica one other time for one of our friends' 1st birthday party, but that was high class...in a suite...parking in the Tigers Garage...private elevators, and it was 2 years ago, so he was just about 18 months, too far away for his memory!! I digress...
Anyway, we got to the ball park, made our way to our seats and sat down with our hot dogs, chips and pop ready for a fun night and watching our firstborn get ALL the attention of mom and dad, and experience something that his mom and dad love so much...baseball! We got through 3 innings and decided to take Levi down to the ferris wheel, made our way back and just as we reached our seats, the rain started to fall...and fall..and fall...I'll let the pictures tell the Rest of the Story!!

He was so excited about the game that he conked out as soon as we headed to the park!!
Inside the Ferris Wheel, the cars are all baseball shaped, it's right in the park...pretty cool!



We knew this was a bad sign...and also, not something you want to read when you have your 3 year old in a packed stadiumbut really, Levi and I needed a chance to wear our blue rain parkas, so I was glad for the opportunity!
We left the stadium and took Levi for dessert at Ram's Horn...remember when we were there last??
I don't think he was too upset about leaving the game early...he finished off MOST of the strawberry shortcake and a lot of my hot fudge cake!!
Although, things didn't go as we planned, it was a really fun night and it felt really special to have Levi get both of our attention for the evening. Especially because we knew Mason was having fun with some great friends of ours from church at his own special sleepover!
