We usually go to the Bee's game a few times each summer but this one seemed so busy that we barely made it the last weekend of the season.
It's always a pretty good time.
Lucky us! we met up with some friends that went to the game too. The kids had lots of fun riding the train together.
Garrett with his buddy Ryker and Embrie with friend Lydia
Maren got to ride too and loved it.
We interupt this post for a quick explaination:
You know boys, they're always climbing on things and taking risks (ok lets face it this could apply to many girls too). Garrett had been climbing and walking along the big base of the huge statium light and slipped off. His shirt got caught and he scraped his back down the mega sized metal bolt on the base and hung there. Poor kid was hurt pretty bad. Brad went and asked if there was a first aide station and they pointed us in the direction. Embrie was pretty concerned so she went with Garrett and me.
I did NOT take these pictures there, just so you know, I think that would have freaked the first aide guys out a little. But they were so nice to us and when they finished patching Garrett up they asked him if he'd caught a baseball yet. He said no so they pulled one out for him. Well ask the guy is handing it to him both Embrie and Garrett reached their hand out to take it, so they gave Embrie one too! (Man what could we have gotten if I had been taking pictures, maybe season tickets? ha ha). Guess it pays to get hurt sometimes??
And just as we got back to our seats Bumble came out. My kids are interesting, they go between being excited and thinking its so cool to 'no way I am not touching that guy!' Maren was the same she wanted to touch him and then once she'd touch she start to cry. But Garrett got daring enough to toss his ball to Bumble so that he could sign it.
So they both have a Bumble autographed SL Bee's ball. And Garrett was pretty excited that is says on his "Bee-some throw of this ball!"
Maren was not without her mishap. We sat in the grass (even though we had stadium seats, sometimes its just easier) and it is on a hill. She eventually found herself sliding down it face first, it had rained earlier that day and so she had a glob of mud on her head. And being the nice mom that I am I had to laugh and snap a shot.
It was an exciting night to say the least, and the Bee's won!
