Minor League Baseball

This summer we took the boys to their first minor league baseball game. 

The weather was perfect (80's, low humidity, sunny). 

We had seats between home plate and first base. 

 My little sports enthusiast was in heaven. Ali, when you gave us those old YMCA soccer shirts I bet you had no idea how often Aaron would wear them. He loves them! Thank you. ;)

Luke had seen a picture of his cousins enjoying cotton candy, so before the game he said, 

"Daddy, do you think I can taste cotton candy before I turn 20?" Darin made his dream come true at the ripe old age of 9. The boys were happy to share one cotton candy. Too bad Luke thought it was too sweet and sticky. Now he knows. 

I was pleasantly surprised by their patience and focus during the entire game. 

It happened to be a special kids day, so the Luke and Ethan got to run the bases and high five Nutsy the Flying Squirrel mascot. Aaron was too scared to go! What?! Oh well. 

A fun summer family memory!
