Go Raptors Go!

Saturday night Ogden's minor league baseball team, the Raptors, had a free game, followed by fireworks (which neither of our children have ever seen). Lindsey and Micah were in town so we brought them along to check it out. Addison was so excited, and picked a special outfit just for the occasion. 

Yeah. Our kid rocks. And not only was it amazingly fashionable, but it was also functional. Who can lose a kid wearing plaid pants, a Spiderman shirt, Thomas the Train sunglasses and Lightning McQueen/Mickey Mouse ears?

We had a good time and were in the general seating area, so the kids had some freedom to run around and throw their complimentary "quit smoking" baseballs around. A couple foul balls came really close to taking some people out right by us, but luckily everyone survived to tell the tale. 

One of the major highlights for me was watching Addison break it down every time the music came on. He doesn't dance very often - who knew he had such sweet moves?

The kids were champs and stayed awake and in good spirits until way past their bedtime to see post-game show. Addison was a little scared of the fireworks, because he thought they were going to land on us, but he did okay if I covered his ears for him. And Bryn laid on Nate's chest and oohed and aahed over them. Since we're awesome parents, we stopped for Slurpees on the way home (circa 11:00). Addison drank his entire Slurpee before bed and woke up in a lake at about 3 a.m., which he never does. But don't tell him, because I don't think he remembers. 

All in all, we had a great time, and Addison is wanting to play "baseball" every day now, which entails taking his baseball outside and kicking it around in the grass like a soccer ball. Love it.
