A Day at the Ballpark

We met some friends and their kids for a minor league baseball game today.  It was really hot, but we were in the shade, so it wasn't too bad.

 Ready for the game to begin.



 We all got a hot dog and drink with our tickets.



 After the game, the kids can run the bases.  Here, they are waiting for it to start.



 Passing home.


 It was really hot by the end, and we were all tired.  Here's what happens when you try to get four tired children to stand together for a quick picture.
 Dorothy stood by the wall first, and we told the others to stand next to her.  I love how she is separated from the group.



 One kid is now missing altogether.



 Malcolm has been coaxed back, but still not facing forward, while the others all smile.



 Malcolm slowly starts to turn around, but we are starting to loose the littlest one.



 Malcolm is warming up, but the little one is doing her own thing, and Dorothy is watching her.



Close enough.  Next time, we should try this before the game instead of on the way out of the stadium.

It was fun, but long.  It's nice that it isn't too crowded, so the kids could get up and move around a fair bit without disturbing others.  We aren't big baseball fans, but a once a year minor league game is just about our speed.
