Monday night was our 6th annual Royals vs Indians game up here in Cleveland! I love this tradition of ours and how different each year has been. From pregnant 2 times, to now having 2 kids, and from freezing games to scorching games it's been family time every year.
When we arrived, we saw on the tickets that the game actually started at 7:10pm as opposed to 6:10pm as we had thought. Oops! So the boys watched batting practice (Drew had a ball tossed to him!) and Ady and I walked around a bit.
We hit up the kids area before the game as well seeing as how we had plenty of time to kill. This area is AMAZING and all stadiums need something like this. 2 stories worth of kids toys for all ages and a huge 2 story slide!
Then it was on to our seats with some pretzels, hot dogs and a summer shandy in hand!
The jacket that Drew is wearing below was bought after the 1985 World Series game that the Royals were in and had been worn for years by Derek and his brother, Matt. Super vintage!
I also have to take a moment to mention this picture below. It's not much to an outsider, but it summarizes the 2 dynamics of our kiddos perfectly to us. Drew is SUPER sensitive and hate when the homerun fireworks went off. Every time an announcer would come on, he'd cover his ears in fear of more noise. Ady, on the otherhand, watched the fireworks and loud booms and wasn't phased at ALL.
We made it until after the 5th inning, but by then the kids we wearing down and Ady had literally snacked on everything in my bag. We headed home knowing both kids would be like this withing 3 seconds...

Glad you all had a good time. You have such a cute family.
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun tradition!!
ReplyDeleteSo much fun! What an awesome family tradition! And the jacket... AH-MAZ-ING!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun tradition and I love seeing all you guys in Royals blue!! That does look like an awesome kids area too by the way.
ReplyDeleteLooks like such a fun family outing! How nice for your ballpark to have fun kids areas.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun tradition! Great to have these yearly photos. :-) My kids are the same way. This was the first year Jackson tolerated fireworks, but Avery wasn't phased at all by them. When we took Jackson to his first baseball game (cards. v. royals) he hated it. He was 9 months old and just the noise of the crowd cheering sent him into tears.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun day! We love baseball but the closest professional team to us is the Astros & they're 5 hours away so we stick to LSU.
ReplyDeleteSo much fun! Go Royals!! :) (although I'm a Cardinals fan...)
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun family outing! I love baseball games.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun memories! That last picture of Drew reminds me so much of Derek when we were on our way home from the 6th game of the 1985 World Series game. It had been a long day but so much fun! Aunt Karen
