Lovin' Baseball Season!

Anyone who has spent any time around us knows that we love baseball. We do our best to make it to Texas and cheer on the Rangers as much as possible, but in the meantime we enjoy catching a game or two at the local double A team, the Arkansas Travelers. For my 30th birthday, Ted and the kids surprised me with a night at the ballpark.

Surprise!

And also invited some of our closest friends to join us!

Put me in Coach!

Paxton loved taking in the sights and sounds of the game.
And Madi was even super brave and gave the mascot, Shelly, a hug!
The kids were less interested in the game and more interested in rolling down the hill. Hey, whatever works!

We had a wonderful time with all of our friends!!
Then a few nights ago, we joined my work friends for another ball game. Ted and the kids checked out the bullpen staff...
We actually caught a double header and in between the two games they let the kids (and parents) run the bases. Here's Madi and Ted heading to 3rd base...
Prepare yourself - just 18 years away. :)
Madi's going to have to work on her underhand pitch though...

Rally cap!

We again had a great time cheering on the Travs and can't wait for the next game. Have I mentioned that we love baseball?!
