Take Me Out To The Ballgame #2

Yesterday we went to the Rangers game again! Lily was SO excited to go to the "baseball game" again, she has been talking about going to a game again since we went the first time 2 weeks ago. I knew that we had tickets to go again, but didn't tell her we were going until the night before -- she has no patience and it would have been the longest two weeks ever if I told her sooner. She was a little too excited since she woke up at 7am (nearly 2 hours early) on Sunday ready to "go to the baseball game with daddy". Too bad we weren't leaving until 1 o'clock -- it made for a really really long morning trying to keep her entertained until Chip came home from work and it was time to go already!

Thankfully she napped in the car on the way there for about 45 minutes (but she didn't sleep on the ride home). She actually wanted to sleep on the way there, she told Chip "I'm going to sleep in daddy's car on the way to the baseball game."
Jason Giambi up at bat. I knew more A's players than Rangers. But at least I could cheer for the Ranger's this time. It makes it a lot more fun when you are cheering with the crowd rather than against it!

We got there right as the game started, and right as the waitress was coming around taking orders. We were in the same seats as last time, in the Lexus Club level, so it is nice that they have menus and in seat service. Lily's meal was a good deal, she got chicken tenders (which she actually ate), potato chips, oreos and a drink.

It was also free hat day -- so I got 3 free hats (since Lily and Chip probably won't wear theirs!) :) It was great to get a hat since it was 91 degrees out! Of course yesterday was the hottest day of the week and we were a little nervous about going to the game in the heat, but it didn't feel that hot at all. In fact Chip and I agreed it wasn't too much different than last time when it was 74 degrees. Go figure.

It was hard to get any good pictures of Lily since she sat on my lap 99% of the time. It also made for an uneven tan -- my right leg is way tanner than my left now.

When we first got to the game Lily started crying and wanted to go home. She said "no baseball. I want to go home!" I was a little surprised after how stoaked she was to go, but she quickly warmed up and started to have fun. I think she was just tired and still waking up from her super short nap.

Lily had the most fun pouring water in my empty lemon chill cup and playing with it. She ended up drenching us both, but the water felt nice and dried quickly. It was a little disgusting since she would put her hand in the cup and then drink the water afterward. Probably tasted like sweat and sunscreen. yuck.

Orlando Cabrera at bat and Adam Kennedy warming up. Both former Angels. Kennedy hit 2 home runs yesterday which helped Oakland win 5-4. It was a bummer than the Rangers didn't win, but it was still a super fun day!
