All-Star Baseball Game

Last week Josh brought tickets home from work to an All-Star baseball game. Oh how I love when he does that :) We headed down to Salt Lake, excited for the game.
It actually didn't take too long for the kids to be done with the game to be honest (especially McKay). In fact I think it happened right around when the hot dogs, popcorn and candy were gone. McKay was squawking (that is what his yell sounds like) at EVERYONE so I grabbed him and we walked around the stadium.
When I came back, the other kids were pretty much done, but I didn't want to leave the game! The seats were so close and we could see everything happening. Josh traded me places with McKay and walked around with him and the boys and I invented a game to keep them interested in the game.
The game went like this. Before every player hit the ball the boys and I would guess what he was going to do. The options were that he would hit it half way (in the in field) all the way (to the outfield), and home run, foul ball or strike out. The would get points based on if they were right or not. The prize for the most points was two pieces of licorice (these kids are easily bought). It actually was really fun and kept them totally engrossed in what was happening in the game because they wanted to be right with their guesses.
Luckily we didn't have too many people sitting by us, so McKay could sort of wander around our row. It didn't last too long however.
Lincoln really likes popcorn...I have a similar picture of him doing this here.
We have recently been teaching McKay where his nose is. While Josh was walking around with him they practiced :)
There are lots of good things that noses can do. Bunny kisses are my favorite.

The boys did pretty well, but we ended up leaving toward the middle of the 8th inning. It definitely was an adventurous night. Luckily Josh and I got to go to a Diamondbacks game later that week so we could actually watch the whole game.
