Round Rock Express

Even though the first week of school is the most stressful of all weeks, we decided to take Tyler to the Round Rock Express Baseball game Thursday night. (Thanks Pat Abbot for the free tickets!) Pat gave us four tickets so we called our friends Brian and Caitlin to join us. We don't get to hang out with them much anymore and Tyler absolutely loves them, so we were really excited when they said they could come. We weren't really sure how Tyler would do since it was super hot outside and the game didn't start until 7pm, which is after his dinner time and close to bedtime, but he never ceases to amaze me. We were there until 9:30pm, way after bedtime, and Tyler was awesome the entire night!
Soon after we got there we grabbed some dinner, played on the playground and walked around to check things out. Tyler was so intrigued by the fieild, so Caitlin got him as close as she could.


Tyler was in total awe of the Round Rock Express Mascot (not really sure what he is). Tyler watched him for most of the game, pointing and laughing, and making sure we saw him too!

However, he was not fond of THIS Mascot. I tried to get Tyler to take a picture with him, but he screamed and cried and tried as hard as possible to get as far away from him as he could!

Once the game started we found our seats and tried to explain the game of baseball to Tyler. He may not understand the game, but he now knows how to say baseball, or as he says, "b-ball". And we just enjoyed the quality time we had as a family!





And of course, what baseball game is complete without ice cream in a helmet, cotton candy, trying to steal daddy's beer, and the chicken dance? Just FYI: Tyler and I were so good at the chicken dance, we made it onto the big screen! Are we cool or what?





We had such a good time at the game and loved spending time with our friends. So thanks Pat for the tickets and a special thanks to Brian for making googly eyes at the girls on the field and getting them to throw a baseball to Tyler. His "b-ball" is now his new favorite toy!
