take me out to the ballgame...

We went to the opening game of the Springfield Sliders last night and it was a lot of fun! Kevin won tickets earlier in the week so that was covered and it was $1 beer night.. also a plus! We got there a little after 6:00 and already the main parking lot was full.. that was a good sign!! Got parked and headed to the gate.. a ton of people were in line to get tickets.. we were able to walk right past since we already had ours. Kaiden and I both were happy with that. He gets is impatience straight from his Mom. Got some drinks and went on up to find seats.

Before the start of the game..

One of the 1st pitches of the Springfield Sliders team!

We saw a lot of people we knew out there and Kaiden saw some friends from school. Kadien's friend Ryan and his parents and our old neighbors Doug and Kathy were in the bleach together so we moved up with them. Ryan and Kaiden went to daycare together and now are back together for the summer at summer care. Kaiden kept busy w/ his friends watching the game and going down to the front to try and catch foul balls. Didn't get any tho.

It was great to see Kathy. I hadn't seen her in a while. Her prognosis is good. Had to do a lumpectomy, but her doctor says it didn't spread. She's halfway though radiation and is looking forward to being done w/ it. Makes her extremely tired. Hopefully that will be the end of this whole nightmare..

We stayed until about 9:00 and headed home. They were tied up at 3, but ended up winning 7-3. It was a good time and hopefully the Sliders will hang around for a while. On the way out Kaiden threw a few balls w/ a speed gun thing clocking the speed. His highest was 34 mph. He thought that was pretty cool.
