Take Me Out to the Ball Game

On Thursday, Tommy, Meredith and I went to the game. Originally the day was intended as a ditch day in the bleachers for some friends and me. Their work got in the way and they had to cancel, so I invited Meredith and Tommy to come with me.

The weather forecast was not great. Meredith asked what the rain plan was. My plan was for it to not rain. Fortunately, Thursday morning, a coworker offered up his club level seats for the game. Good thing as the weather was really not cooperating.

It really was a great day and everything worked out for us. Nana picked up Tommy and Meredith and then picked me up at work. She dropped us all of at the ball park. Tommy couldn't wait to get to the game and he was great. He charmed everyone at the game and really had a good time.

Aunt Jen - can't you see I'm eating?


Tommy and Meredith ran into the Orange and Black Attack and scored some eye black.


And this K. The back of the K says "Grab Some Pine Meat" which Tommy could read but we had to explain what it meant.


The sun came out today...


Getting Lou stuffed.


The rain stopped and the slides were reopened just in time.


Aunt Jen, Tommy and Lou. I had pointed out Lou Seal the Mascot to Tommy before the game. And then the seal disappeared. Tommy wanted to know where it was. Normally that seal is everywhere but did he come back out on Thursday - no. We distracted Tommy by teaching him about baseball.

He learned:
The pitcher throws the ball and he stands on the dirt hill.
The batter hits the ball and he's the batter because he holds the bat.
The catcher catches the ball.
U - Ribe
and
Number 12 is dreamy.

We sang Take Me Out to the Ballgame during the 7th inning stretch (and on the metro home, and at Nana's).

Oh and the Giants came back to win the game. 5-4.

GO GIANTS!

Meredith here, just adding some cute pics Nana took after the game. Nana bought Tommy a Giants hat the day before in anticipation of the big game. But it fell off as we jumped out of the car so we didn't actually have it at the game. And it was too cold/wet to show off his #55 shirt. So here's the complete ensemble.




Thanks Aunt Jen! We had a great time!
