Take me out to the ballgame ...



We took Ryan & Emma to a Bats baseball game on Saturday evening. It was PERFECT ballgame weather and it was Emma's very first "non-Ryan playing" ballgame. Both of the kiddos had a great time.

The Oreo & Milk Jingle Tour had an RV setup at the entrance to the stadium. They were inviting people to sing the oreo jingle for a chance to win a trip to NYC and $10,000. We passed on the chance to sing ... but took them up on the free oreos! With free cookies involved, Emma will be asking to go to the game all the time.

Emma was quick to mimic Ryan in whatever he doing or saying. If he clapped, Emma clapped. If he yelled for a player, Emma yelled for a player. The funny thing though is that Emma is terrified of mascot type things but had quite a bit of interest in "Buddy Bat", the bat's mascot. We were behind home plate (Thank you Scott for the great tickets!) and the mascot and team workers were coming in and out close to where we sat. Emma kept a close eye on Buddy and then she would wave at him and blow him kisses. The little flirt! The one time she thought he was coming close to us though, she was in my lap in 0.00002 seconds and was crawling up me to escape.

The evening ended on another good oreo moment, more free samples after the game was over!
