Take Me Out to The Ballgame

Matt's boss gave us tickets to an Indians game as a congratulations gift for the birth of Jackson. The ultimate guy gift, right? Originally he gave us box tickets for a Sunday afternoon game with tickets to the Terrace Club as well. Since we do not do those kind of activities on a Sunday we were bummed and were trying to think of who we could give the tickets to or they would just go to waste. But, the more we thought about it we decided we should just give him to his boss to take his family because he had spent hundreds of dollars on the tickets and we couldn't see wasting them. When Matt told his boss the situation and how we were so grateful for the tickets, but didn't want them to go to waste he said he should have know better since he knows we are Mormon. And then nice guy that he is he gave us new tickets to a game on a Saturday night. We were not expecting that at all! Matt was totally stoked! He has wanted to go to an Indians game all summer. So, last Saturday we packed up the kiddos and headed to the ballpark. Even though the Indians lost to the Royals 8-4, we had a great time. Go tribe!

Jackson did so well at his first baseball game at only 6 weeks old!


Who can resist that face! In the background of this picture you can see that our seats were behind first base and we were seven rows back. We had to keep our "heads up" because many a fly ball came our way. In the section next to ours someone got hit in the head when one of the Royals players threw the bat behind him to run to first. I guess he threw it a little too hard cause it went into the stands!
