Take me out to the ball game

Tonight, we all headed downtown to enjoy a Redbird's game. I am sad that we have such a great team here in Memphis and gorgeous field that we never take advantage of. We had gotten some discounted seats online the the other day so decided we needed to use them before the season ended. We had great seats, just on the third baseline and we were on the first row. We were far enough away that we would have time to duck from an incoming ball if necessary but still great seats in order not to miss any of the action! Lilliana had been one other time with Clay and his brother but this was the first time we had taken her this year. Other than the fact that it was 102 degrees outside with a heat index of 112, it was a perfect evening. Just hot and humid!! We spent more money on water than we did on our seats!

Lilliana had a great time but still doesn't like things dressed up in costumes. As soon as Rocky came out she said she was ready to go home. I assured her that he was far away and we wouldn't let him get too close. They have a really neat area for kids at the stadium with a playground area and games. I took Lilliana for a little break around the 4th inning to play on the playground and she had a great time until she got sand in her shoes and then prissy pot said she was done playing. She wanted the sand out of her shoes and to be cleaned off. I have no idea where she gets it from. :) I took her into the bathroom to clean off her feet and then her dress got wet while she was standing in the sink. Luckily, I had a back-up outfit in her bag that got put to use. (The reason for the 2 different outfits in the following pics)

We made it about 6 innings before we were all too hot and sticky to stay much longer. Of course, when we were walking out of the stadium, my pregnancy cravings couldn't withstand the wonderful smells coming from The Rendezvous so we headed there for a late snack and to cool down before trekking to the car. They were crazy busy so we just headed upstairs where everyone was waiting and ordered some drinks and the appetizer cheese and sausage plate. It was just perfect for the 3 of us to share and a great ending to our fun family night.
