As the end of summer is nearing we're feeling the need to cram all of the things that we've wanted to do into these final few weeks. In fact, August is making a play for being our busiest month of the year! (Apparently it's been feeling a little jealous of October, which usually wins this award.) One of the things on our summer bucket list was to go with the kids to a Bees game. We decided to go for FHE and we had such a nice time. I'm glad that we made it happen.
Parking is atrocious, and even though I'd told David that I was just planning pay for parking (which I hattteee) - we couldn't find a spot and ended up parking for free several blocks away and walking in. It was a little crazy, but once we were in and situated the long walk was all but forgotten. Plus we used the money that we were going to spend on parking and bought some ice cream that came in a little plastic baseball hat - so I'd say that we definitely came out on top!
When we bought the tickets, we bought the Monday Night Special - SmithsTix deal that came with hotdogs for everyone and it was super fun. The kids loved the hotdogs and although we didn't watch much baseball - it's just such a fun atmosphere to be in and experience. Most of the time was spent rolling around on the chairs, climbing on and off of the chairs, and talking to the super friendly people in front of us. I'll let you guess who was doing which activity. We did love the songs they'd play between innings!
We left before the game was over, just as it was really starting to get dark. We're always of the opinion that you should leave before the kids are really done and they start crying, because then the exit is worse for everyone. I feel like we timed it just right. We had a great time and will definitely come back again as a family. (We came when Lydia was little, and she actually initiated this trip because she wanted to come and see the Bee. We didn't see much of him, but it ended up being just fine. The kids loved it all.)
