Take me out to the ballgame!

Dad took us all to a Tampa Bay Rays game while we were visiting in Florida.  We had a great time enjoying ballpark food and watching the game.  The boys especially.  Micah the most.  I think they both fell absolutely in love right then and there.  We have not had one day since where the boys have not played baseball outside or on the Wii (or even sneakily in their bedroom), and not too many less than that where the boys have not watched at least a couple innings of a game on t.v.  If we have to miss a game, we are constantly being begged to check the score.  They are enthralled!  Part of me loves it.  I was raised in a family that loves baseball, so I find it all very fitting.  Now that we are back home, Micah touts that the Arizona Diamondbacks are his favorite team.  Caden always cheers for the other team, just to get under his brother's skin.  They both still have a soft spot for the Rays, the same way I always will for the Cubs.

Here are some pics from the game back in June...


This picture had promise, but Jake was eating and swallowed right as it was taken. 
One day we'll manage to get a really good picture together!




A really nice kid seated in front us had some connection to the team and hooked both boys up with an Official Major League Baseball.  Sweet!
