Take me out to the Ball Game

On Friday afternoon our we went to a Chicago Cubs game with my parents and Jackson and Natalie. It was a great time, even though the Cubbies lost. They were playing St. Louis and they kicked the Cubs' butts but we saw about 7 homeruns in 1 game so that was pretty cool. The other cool thing is that the Blue Angels were practicing for their show the next day right over Wrigley Field so we got to see some fighter jets doing their thing. It was great. The only bad part about the day was that Vince Vaughn wasn't there to lead us in a 7th inning rendition of "Take Me Out To The Ball Game." Maybe next time!

It was awesome to be at Wrigley and stand on this corner. Its pretty crazy because the its right in the middle of a neighborhood and it was built in like 1914 or something. The only other ball park that is older then Wrigley is Fenway Park.

Grandad was so excited to be there. He's always wanted to go to a Cubs game at Wrigley Field and was even more excited that he got to take his grandson. He kept referring to the Mastercard commercials...PRICELESS!

Here are the kids with Nana and Grandad. We were a little worried about Natalie dealing with a long boring baseball game but she did awesome! She didn't complain once and loved eating the ball park Hot Dogs, Peanuts and ice cream.

And here it is...PRICELESS!!!!

So fun! I wish I could have been there. It looks like a great time. Your text is being kind of funcky and disappearing and then reappearing, it is magic.

What great pics! What a fun day. Tell Jackson that Spencer has the same Cubs hat. Adam bought it for him when he was in Chicago last month! Cool. I also like your new look but it was being funcky with me too. The magic is kinda freakin' me out!

How fun for you guys. I'm so glad that grandad got his "priceless" moment. I also enjoy your new look, but am having the same problem with the disappearing and reappearing. What's up with that?
