Take Me Out to the Ball Game

We took the girls to the Knights game on Saturday night- Stephen got some tickets from work and there was a fireworks show afterwards, so we decided to take a family adventure.  As we left our house at 6:45 (with Aubrey's bedtime being 6:30) I had to wonder if we were a little crazy.  

Looking at her program "book" to find Homer

She was happy with her book and list (ticket)
 In the 5th inning, I took the girls to the playground for a while.  They both loved the big slide and we had to ride the carousel (Aubrey calls it "Up and Down")
Aubrey chose a bunny, Lily Kate a monkey

 Next up, SNACKTIME!  Lily Kate chose cotton candy as their snack (they even had purple)!



 Aubrey's favorite part of the night was Homer (the dragon mascot)!
 At 10 o'clock, I was starting to think that this was a crazy idea, but there was just one inning left- until the Knights tied the game, meaning extra innings (or as Stephen calls it: Free baseball).

Aubrey when she learned there were fireworks but no castle!
Aubrey's opinion of extra innings
The Knight's won in the 11th inning! and then we got to enjoy fireworks!
Aubrey and I watched them from the van- she was done.  I can't believe we kept the girls out until 11:30, but it was a fun memory!  Yay Fireworks!
