Attitude Is Everything

"This freakin' stinks!" Ryun, after a brief episode of pouring rain at the game last night.

A little while later...

"This is the best baseball game I have ever been to. I have never been to a baseball game where is has rained!" Katherine

Anyway, with the exception of some drunk, old dude throwing his arm around me to sing, "Sweet Caroline" at the end of the 8th, last night's Paw Sox game was fun! And actually? The drunk, old dude singing Sweet Caroline was pretty funny too. Julia had a few moments in the beginning of the game where she was slightly overwhelmed with the whole situation, but after saying a couple of times that she wanted to go home, she warmed up to the idea and was fine. I was surprised that she actually stayed awake for the whole game, but, she was asleep about 5 minutes after we left the parking lot.

All three kids, smiling at the same time! As Emily said, "It's a miracle!"

About 45 minutes before game time, according to the clock there.

That's Clay Buckholz, making his way out to stretch before the game. Katherine, in one of her "Katherine moments" said, just after Clay took his place on the mound, "Hey, where's that guy that threw the no-hitter?"

Emily and Katherine were all excited to sit "by themselves" in the row right in front of Ryun, Julia, and I .

Katherine is standing behind me as I type this and said that this caption should say, "Emily and Katherine being weirdos." So, there you have it.

This was Julia's first official baseball game. I think she liked it!

Julia decided that she liked the view from the floor.

How cute is she?

Ryun and Julia spent some time enjoying the game together.
