Boys D-backs Games

 Owen, Poppy, and I went down for a weeknight game in September for a guys night. It was also Pop's first D-backs game.















We caught another game for one of their last home-stands as they made their playoff push. This was TF's first game. Poppy again came, as did Aunt Katie and Uncle Zach. Unfortunately, Owen got some kind of stomach bug and threw up in our seats twice, once in the bathroom, then twice more on me as I held him in the concourse. It was a bummer for Fish (who probably really didn't care) and was one of the worst sports experiences I've had.

The pic at left was right before he threw up the first time. The cardboard food holders at right were what I used to have him vomit into. Poor guy was so tired toward the end.

Last D-backs Game of the Summer

Took the girls for one last D-backs night game before school started. They love going, and it is a nice time, especially when I have discounted tickets.

STL - Baseball Game

As luck would have it, the D-backs were in town to play the Cardinals while we were there, so we caught a night game. There was a one hour rain/lightning delay, which set us back on the kids sleep time, but it was a great time. They have a great ballpark, and the D-backs won on a JD Martinez grand slam home run.

 

Owen's First Baseball Game

Bobbins' father did our annual D-backs game early this year, in May, because the Yankees (his team) were in town. Thankfully, we stomped the Pinstripes. It was Owen's first game and he loved it. He brought his mitt and had a blast running around. He even tried to play catch with an older boy a few rows down. Owen took the ball and the look on the other boy's face was priceless. His parents and us had a good laugh. This was also the last game with Jack, who loved it.
