Father's Day 2008

For Father's Day we took Matt to a Captains game (the local minor league baseball team). It was the first half of the Northern Division Championship and the Captains won! The game was a double header because the game scheduled for Friday night got rained out. So, we got to see two games for the price of one. There were also fireworks after the game which Madelynne calls "fire truck". She also said they were very loud and go "Boom!".


At the game they were doing free face painting and Madelynne was so excited! After we got to our seats it was all she could talk about. She tried to take off on her own a couple of times to go get her face painted. Once we were all settled in I took her up to the booth, so she could get her face painted. There was a board of pictures of the choices and at first Madelynne wanted the tiger. Then she decided she wanted the pony. Then she saw the dog and wanted the dog. But, then when it was finally her turn she told the girl she wanted a pony. Since that was the second time she selected the pony I figured that was what she really wanted. I was incredibly surprised at how still she was while they painted her face. I mean she is only two and a half...

Close up of the pony! When we got home that night we told Madelynne she had to wash the pony off in the tubbie to get ready for church the next day. Matt held her up to the mirror and let her say bye-bye to the pony. Sunday morning when she woke up she said to Matt, "Oh no! Where did my pony go?" Matt reminded her we had to wash it off the night before and she replied, "I need to go to baseball game to get my pony." Apparently, she thinks you can get your face painted at every baseball game.
