Take Me out the Ball Game

At school this week Jacob brought home tickets to a UVU baseball game. Since he brought home two tickets and kids under five are free, we figured we might as well go! We knew the kids probably wouldn't last the entire time, but we thought it would be a fun outing.

So here are Mommy and Daddy with the kids at the game.



You can see that the boys all wore baseball caps. I thought Jacob in particular was stylin'!

Since the boys have never been to a baseball game and we don't really watch sports on TV, Joe and I got to explain the game to them.

The UVU baseball team is actually pretty good, so it was fun to watch them play. Of course baseball is not the most exciting sport for kids, so after the first few innings we got some hot dogs and hamburgers to eat. We left the stands and went over to the grassy area by the third base line.

Amelia kept trying to figure out how to go down the steep hill. It was hilarious because she would fall over and then couldn't figure out how to stand up on such an incline! Daddy helped her out.

The boys also rolled down the hill at the end of the field, and played at the playground that they have at the baseball field. They had a great time. Joe even managed to snag a foul ball at the end of left field, so Jacob got to bring home a ball from the game. He thought that was pretty cool!

We left sometime around the seventh inning and looked around the new science building on campus. I forgot to bring Amelia's milk cup, or we might have stayed a bit longer. The kids enjoyed themselves, and so did Joe and I. We may have to go to a ball game again in the future!

We would also like to take the boys to a Real soccer game at the stadium in SLC. I think they would like that, since Jacob is in soccer and they are more familiar with the game.
