7th Inning Stretch

Let me set the stage...

The Goldeyes game was so much fun. The unfortunate part is that we got there in the 3rd inning and were rained out by the 5th! After Hudson's nap, we began packing, collecting and getting the family ready - which took us to the 3rd inning - game started at 4:00 for our first big event as a family of 4. Dad dropped us off at the door because we had so much gear they probably thought we were moving in. We had spent almost $50 within 20 minutes on food and souvenirs - mini donuts were a staple of course! Hudson had his own seat, Gage was in the Wom baby. We cheered and laughed and ate. Hud even giggled the whole way to the car as we were dumped on by mother nature. It really was an hour of pure bliss. The comedic part happened when we began our descent home.

Hudson in the back in his Goldeyes hat and #1 fan mitt asked us 375 times "Where is Goldie?" We answered him about 200 times, he's at the ball park - speaking loudly over Take Me Out to the Ball Game which was playing by request on the stereo over and over again. By the time we reached Polo Park, we decided we need a coffee. So, we headed to Tim's.

In the line up, Hudson was still pestering us about Goldie as Gage woke up. Each car that edged up made me more and more tense. When we got to the window the girl was soaked and stressed out and took 3 hours to get us our order - at least it seemed that long. Dad booked it, thinking the motion would settle Gage. No luck, we had to stop. Imagine a steamy car parked in the Michael's parking lot. Upon first glance one might imagine teenagers making out. Not us, I had my boobie out, Hudson was belting out his new song, eating chocolate cookies and occasionally remembering to ask us about Goldie and Dad was losing his mind. Rain pelting the vehicle. Brent and I laughed at how funny this situation had become!

Life with babes, it is the most fun! Regrettably we didn't get to the 7th inning stretch!

Oh and I woke up in sweat, I had had a night mare that Kath wasn't returning to Winnipeg. I hope you had a great trip - now get home!
