America's Favorite Pastime

Peanut went on a field trip to Minute Maid Park over the summer with the rest of his daycare group.  Pretty cool field trip, huh?  The tour guides let the kids run out onto the field and took them to all the behind the scenes places in the stadium.  It apparently impressed him quite a bit because he has wanted me to take him to a game ever since.  So, this past Friday, Peanut, Muffin, KK and I went to watch the Houston Astros beat the Colorado Rockies 11 to 2.

I got seats on the top deck because I figured that the kids would get bored and want to leave early.  Instead, the kids had a blast and we stayed for the whole game, ducking out just before the scary fireworks went off.   Muffin enjoyed all of the screaming and screamed herself hoarse.  Peanut and Muffin both enjoyed the popcorn and snow cones.  Peanut even had a glove ready in case a pop fly came our way.  I hope that one day he will have the opportunity to catch a ball.  We had a great time and the kids have expressed a desire to go to more games.  Peanut even wants to try the Dynamos and the Texans.
