take me out to the ballgame!

after pat got home from his football game on saturday (and after sawyer got a much needed NAP!), we surprised the kids with an evening at a minor league baseball game!

it's only about a 45 minute drive...the weather was PERFECT and it was just a simple, fun night!

LOVE her little hand on her daddy's leg.

the team is the Frederick Keys...so, there's a point where everyone shakes their KEYS!

it's a VERY family friendly stadium...does life get much better than this? waiting in line for a carousel ride next to a baseball field?


i think she's GLOWING
after the game (don't you love how i don't have a single picture of the ACTUAL game?? :-)) the kids get to run the bases. rebekah and joshua waiting in line.



then pat decided to take bailey and sawyer down, too! pat's in a red shirt with his hands on bailey and sawyer's heads...trying to show them where i am up in the stands!
there they go!

they made it!
then...the lights ALL went off and fireworks started! super fun, right?

well, not so much for sawyer. at the sound of the first firework, he DOVE into rebekah's lap (who was next to him) and was SCREAMING bloody murder! he was TERRIFIED! pat grabbed him and held him. sawyer held onto pat's neck SO tight the whole time and has talked about NOT liking the fireworks all day today. poor guy! i felt so bad!


it was a very fun night together as a family!

love it! (and think it's hilarious that you really DIDN'T take any pictures of the game!) :) Poor sawyer and the fireworks - josiah used to be like that. i guess you won't be heading downtown to DC for 4th of July this year anyways, right? :)

What a sweet night for you guys! So glad the kids loved it. And I do feel bad for Sawyer, but what an awesome moment it was for Pat to get to hold him like that...he is growing and won't do that much more. And I loved Pat holding Bailey's hand. He is such an awesome daddy...how blessed Lincoln and Levi are! (I mean, we already knew that with you being their mom, Pat as dad just ups the ante.)
