Take Me Out to the Ball Game

On Tuesday afternoon we went to a Cubs game (baseball, for those of you as clueless as I am) as a family. We found some cheap tickets online (through a friend) that were only $4! It was a really fun outing, and would've been perfect if it had been a little warmer and less windy.

We were lucky to find free parking on the street--even though it was a half a mile away. Dan was slightly annoyed that he missed the first pitch. Good thing he doesn't show it here:

Wrigley Field is fantastic. Why? Because they let you bring water-bottles inside. You don't even have to sneak them in your sweatshirt!

We brought a couple blankets to try and keep warm. It looks sunny in some of these pictures, but believe me, it was cold.

We went and met up with some of our friends in the back after the 5th inning. That helped distract Violet from the cold she'd been complaining about.



We left at the bottom of the 8th inning. Three hours is a long time for kids (and me) to be out in the cold. So, did I learn anything about baseball? You betcha. If they hit the ball more often, it would be a bit more interesting. The one successful hit every ten minutes didn't quite do it for me. Ok, it was fun. But not really because of the baseball ;).

Aren't my boys so handsome?

  3. Oh, and this is Lindsay, not Mr. Weston. He started a blog as a joke one day, and never actually posted anything.

  4. You look GORGEOUS in the family picture! I'll be moving to Great Lakes a little later than we thought (thanks to Jaden) but I'll let you know when we're there and we can have lunch or something.

  5. Hopefully the Cubs won. It would stink if got exciting in the ninth. Sounds like fun. Are you coming to the Andelin reunion? We hope so.

  7. Are you babysitting those kids on the side of the picture of your family? You aren't doing a very good job. :)
