This past Wednesday was the
perfect day for baseball. Greg and I took the day off of work and went down to St. Louis to meet Sarah, Joel, Eliza, and Leo for their first-ever Cardinals game! I had originally contemplated calling in sick to work--because I am sick of work--but I decided to just use some annual leave. It turns out that was a good decision because my supervisor Barbara went down to the game that day too :-)
Leo loved his first baseball game. He was all decked-out in his Cardinals onesie and enjoyed watching all of the action.
Eliza especially loved Fredbird Field--the play area for energetic kids. When we were sitting in our seats before the game, she sat there quietly for a minute and then said, "Is it over yet?" :-) But she did enjoy watching "the guys," as she called the baseball players, and she was hoping they would hit a ball over our way so that she could hit it back.
Back at Fredbird Field, I tried snapping a picture of her on top of the Cardinals hat--but she was already leaping off to run the bases.
The Cardinals ended up winning. What a great game! After the game we had a delicious dinner at the Cheesecake Factory. And of course no trip to St. Louie would be complete without a stop at Ted Drewes for some frozen custard. Thank you, Agates, for such a fun day!
