Take Me Out to the Ball Game

On Saturday night we took Rudy to his first professional baseball game. It was a beautiful night. Our seats were very much in the sun, but it wasn't overly hot - just bright. We had a great view of the bridge beyond the field.

Rudy enjoyed watching the game in between eating and playing in the kids area.

The sun slowly went down.

A cute kid.

A more realistic look at that cute kid.

Rudy and the boy sitting behind us became fast friends and for the last 2 innings did everything possible to not sit in a seat and not watch the game. But at least they had fun.

After the game there were fireworks...

... and a chance for the kids to run the bases. Although it was VERY late and Rudy was VERY tired as we waited in line, he energetically ran the bases.

Overall, I think Rudy's first game was a success. Hopefully by the time he goes to another, he'll be a little bit more interested in the actual game!
