We took Derek and Rylie to their first baseball game this Sunday. The Diamondbacks played the Padres. We went with our neighbors and had fantastic seats (so cheap compared to Fenway). Matt and I decided to have Derek take an early nap and show up halfway through the game (hoping to make it to the end of the game). Our plan worked! By the time we got to the game we were in the bottom of the 4th inning. It was so much fun to watch Derek experience baseball game for the first time. He was bright-eyed the whole time checking everything out and soaking it all in. Baseball is Derek's favorite sport (right now)! Some of the highlights of the game were participating in the wave, seeing the bobble-head guys run in between innings, hearing "Take me out to the Ball Game" (I think he was too amazed to sing), eating ice cream out of a helmet, and running the bases after the game. Rylie enjoyed herself during the game as well. After taking a nap in the Ergo, she was entertained by Sophie. She loved the game until someone hit a home run and the crowd went wild, which scared her and she screamed! Matt and I had such a great time "watching" the game through Derek's eyes. We can't wait to go again!
