the kids' first baseball game!

Last weekend, we were up in Iowa for a wedding, and my parents offered us tickets to take the kids to see the ICubs.  The bigger boys had been to college football games, but none of the kids had gotten the experience of their first baseball game, so Todd decided to take the older three.

Oh. Man.

While they got a little impatient through the game (watching baseball isn't exactly a ride on a speeding bullet), and while Finneas was overly occupied with the fact that the guys sitting behind them were very drunk ("They were drunk!  Mom, there were drunk guys!  They were getting drunk!"  Excellent.), it was overall a positive experience - especially once the fireworks started.

Todd said Atticus kept saying, "This is the best day of my life!" during the fireworks show.  What an awesome way to end the evening!
