Baseball Fever? Not So Much...

Last Saturday, Josh's dad had some tickets to the Rivercats baseball game, and he invited his kids and their families to go. We were fortunate enough to snag a couple of those tickets. The atmosphere of a baseball game is always so much fun. I love watching all the funny things that people participate in like dancing for the camera, throwing pies at one another to win a free haircut, the wave. We always enjoy ourselves there. Well, having a baby with us changed things a little bit. First of all, Mia did not get very good naps in that day, so she was a bit cranky to begin with. Secondly, I think I overfed her in hopes that she would settle down and be in this milk-drunken state that would keep her calm and happy for the game; which caused her to have a tummy-ache instead, and be cranky. Thirdly, I don't think she was used to having a ton of people surrounding her so closely; we sat in the bleachers...at first. And fourthly, it was an evening game, so she was tired. Needless to say, I didn't see very much of the game. Not that it mattered because we ended up losing 11-0! Anyway, Mia likes to be up and walking a lot, so that's what we did, and eventually, we parked it in the grassy area where there was a bit more breathing room for her. Shortly after that, she fell asleep in my arms and stayed that way for about 4 innings. Sweet! I just relaxed, enjoyed the weather, and pretended to root for our losing team. Who goes to actually watch the game anyways? Josh went back and forth between staying with us and sitting with the rest of his family that was there, which I was totally fine with, but I think he was torn. He really likes being social, especially with his family. He was really great and patient with the whole situation. All in all, we had a very nice time, but I don't think we're going to be taking Mia back to a baseball game until she's a little bit older.
