Take me out to the ballgame!

Thursday afternoon a guy at work asked if I wanted tickets to a rangers game. I asked when, he said tomorrow night. I said, no can't go. Then I thought about it, called Amanda, and asked if I could take Garrett to a baseball game. She said sure, go. I took the tickets (Thanks David!!!). Then I decided to look online and see how much tickets cost. They were reasonable so when I got home I told Amanda we were all going. She was excited. I took them with me to deliver some parts to a customer Friday afternoon and we just kept on driving from there. Got there just in time. Seats were pretty good, right at third base, on the third deck. We sat down and Garrett said "the people look like ants!" O.K., they weren't primo seats but they weren't the really cheap seats. It was free hat night though. See our cool hats in the picture?!??!

We were really disappointed we didn't take the camera. Got some cotton candy and we all shared and, here's where the camera was needed, Luke was grabbing hunks as fast as he could and stuffing them in his mouth. Huge wads of cotton candy just as fast as he could grab them. You know how cotton candy solidifies into sugar chunks when it gets wet, Luke had this blue stain all over his hands and mouth and these blue hunks of sugar all over the place. Kodak moment, and no kodak! AAARRGGGHH!!!


Garrett had been getting restless so the two of us went exploring while Amanda and Luke camped out in our seats (too much walking for them). Garrett and I ran down the ramps from the third deck to the first. Ran right onto the field and decided to play ball a little. Garrett struck out but it was fun. Ok, there was a picture booth. Reliant was doing pictures that they would superimpose on ballpark backgrounds. We decided to get our picture taken. Still pretty fun! Luckily they were still taking pictures when we left so we were able to get the family shot at the top.


The rangers got beat. They hit two home runs. The second one was a shot!. Hit it into the second deck and it landed in the entrance ramp and bounced onto the walkway on the backside of the grandstands. They said it was about a 435' hit. Smoked it! Everyone got a certificate for a free taco at Taco Bueno because they hit the homerun. We left at the end of the 8th inning. It was 10pm and we had to drive back still. Looked for a Taco Bueno and finally found one. Pulled in and, they were closed! At 10:30pm! What fast food restaurant closes before 10:30???? We were starving and wanted tacos by then so we pulled into taco bell then raced home. Got home at 2:30 this morning. Fed the animals, got in bed at 3am. Slept till 9 this morning. For us, that is SUPER late! It's been years since all of us slept that late. Wears you out havin' fun!
