We took the kids to their first baseball game today..or at lease 4 innings of a ball game. Being a big sports fan, I was so excited to take them and get them acquainted with cheering on the home team. And I can't wait to take them back...in about 3 more years!! Maybe when they can understand "hold mommy's hand" and "time to sit down". We had moments of enjoyment coupled with moments of complete frustration and fear. There were so many people there, a sell out crowd, and all the kids wanted to do is walk/wonder around in their own little world.
We knew the game was sold out so we got there early...wanting to miss the crowds and check out stroller at guest services. We found our seats, let the kids walk the isles a little and then took them over to the Coke Bottle play ground to play around. There was the greats Tot's Field that was a tiny b-ball field for the little ones to hit the ball and run the bases. Of course our kids just chased after everyone's ball. Once our friends got there, Liz and Salvador, it was time to go back to our seats and watch the game. The kids were not happy with that!! Timo screamed the whole way back as we carried him. Everyone was turning and looking at us...nice! Oh and I should mention it was about 90 in SF in today too, making a hot situation even hotter!
The kids calmed down once we got to our seats and they got some water (it was hot!)and snacks (I brought strawberries for them) It was so crowed, we couldn't put the kids down anywhere to walk around. Liz was kind enough to get us a hot dog, we were starving! At about inning 4, Timo started to get restless again. We occupied him with Liz's cell phone for a bit but Cameron was getting cranky as well. Time to go! The kids were so pooped they fell asleep in the stroller on the way back to the car.
I can't wait until they are just a little older and we can give it another try
