Take Me Out to the Ballgame...

We took the children to their first Giants baseball game over Memorial Day weekend...Timo was beyond excited.
The Kapics were able to join us for the game too, woo hoo.  I think this was Parker, Fletcher and Baily's firsts Giants game.  Our seats were high so all the kids had a great view of the field and surround bay.  Being Memorial Day weekend, there was an aircraft carrier docked in the bay that caught their attention.
Timo had his glove all ready to catch a fly ball (not likely as high as we were but it's fun to dream) and Cameron was busy concentrating on the timeless baseball pastime...the fine art of cracking open peanuts.
We LOVE baseball games!  I can tell the kids are getting older because the game holds their attention longer.  We typically only last 5 or 6 innings but stayed the whole game this time.  The Giants won!!

We did sneak out of our seats around the 8th inning to take the kids over to the play park in the stadium.  The huge Coke bottle is a big slide!
Stopped by the cable car to ring the bell...over and over and over again...

Our final stop was the Little Giants Field.  Timo waited patiently with all the other kids for his turn to bat and play outfield.  Guess he isn't the only little Giants fan...

Batter up!  They had a guy throwing pitches to the kids...Timo was so happy not to have to use the tee.  Rounding the bases and, for some reason, he thinks he has to slide into home plate...every time.

Cameron took her turn but wanted to use the tee.  She ran the bases too...just not in the right order...
Great game, great weather, great friends and awesome family time.  Can't wait to go to more games this season...go Giants!!
