On Labor Day Scott and I took the kids to their first major league baseball game at The K, to see the ROYALS. They were so excited and I was excited about the $5 tickets!! You can't really beat that price for a first time experience. Autumn has been to a few games before with her Mom so she had fun showing the boys the ropes. Sometimes I plan events and then Scott gets too sick to go (sometimes from treatment and sometimes LD symptoms) so we were all so happy that he had a few days off for the holiday weekend and that he felt well enough to join us. I won't post all the photos from our day but will show you some of my favorites. The kids got to experience peanuts and stadium hotdogs while the Royals beat the LA Angels. We did the wave, watched the ketchup/mustard/relish races, swayed to music, cheered for the home runs, steals, made a mess with our peanuts, got a nice red glow and just enjoyed every aspect of baseball in beautiful cool weather. It was a lot of fun. Every time the crowd cheered Lucas would yell, scream, jump up and down and then ask me if it was over. Poor boy. It was a long game and we actually left before it was over so we could beat the crowd but it was a great family treat.
Look how big they are getting!
We hitched a ride on the tram and got an impromptu tour of the new facilities. It's amazing.
I love that toothless grin...
Here they are dressed in blue...we didn't have Royals shirts...just hats...so pay no attention to the soccer shirt in front....hey...at least it's blue...
Home run...with fireworks...
There is nothing like experiencing salted peanuts at a baseball game. Look at those faces! And, because the Royals stole a base (2 actually), we took our tickets to Sonic for our free medium slush. It was a great ending to a great day!
Go Royals!!
