That's right. At five months old, Finn attended his first Major League Baseball game. I know that up until five months ago we rolled our eyes at "those people" who brought their kids to games. We are officially"those people." It was actually just bad planning on our part. We bougt tickets when they went on sale in February and figured that since Wes's sister Amanda lives in St. Louis, she could watch Finn while we went to the game. Or if she was busy, we thought we could bring Grandma Kandy along to babysit while we went to the game. However, they both ended up being out of town that weekend so Finn came with us. It ended up working out very well. We exchanged our tickets for seats in the wheelchair accessible section and we were able to wheel Finn's stroller right between our seats. There was plenty of room and we were able to stand up behind our seats when Finn got restless. Here he is looking super-imposed.
It was a little windy in our section and since we were under the overhang, we had to keep our jackets on, but other than that our seats were perfect. Finn did a great job and barely made a peep. He did get tired though and fell asleep on me for the first time in a couple months.
Here's a family pic after the game. Yes, I'm wearing a Cardinals shirt. Wes and I have a deal that unless the Cubs and Cardinals are playing each other, we root for the home team when we go to a game. Note Finn's camo pants honoring his dad's tradition.
The Cardinals lost 1-0 to the Brewers, but it was hat give away day so Finn will have a souvenir from his very first game that he can grow into.
Awesome! Take 'em out to the ballgame young! Nice pictures, and good deal on the free hat.
ReplyDeleteWe have the same deal... But because I dress them in the morning, they usually end up in Mets gear.
