We lucked out with free street parking on 6th and Jackson. $0, but it was a long walk to the stadium with Cole on my shoulders the whole way
We had hotdogs for dinner, passing by the guy who was yelling "hotdogs" at the top of his lungs and instead choosing the stand with a line. $10
Cole's "not another picture!" face.
Cole brought the mitt he got for his 2nd birthday (from our good friend Jackie who is also a HUGE baseball fan) in case a fly ball dropped in our laps. He originally thought we would be PLAYING baseball instead of watching baseball so the realization that there was no way a fly ball was making it up to the 300 level was pretty disappointing.
Our view of the game.
Even though I performed a miracle by getting him to take a nap earlier in the day, Cole was still too tired to get excited about the game. We got some crackerjacks ($2) because they're in the song but Cole didn't like them. He did want to see the train so we walked around the stadium for a better look but no trains came by and it was starting to get dark. Meanwhile Cole asked for chocolate covered strawberries and since I'm a sucker I got them ($5.75) but he didn't want them after the first bite.
After 4 innings we left to get back to the car before it was too dark. As a treat we took the bicycle cab back to Jackson ($10). It was very fun and I decided it was worth it even if only to save my aching shoulders. Cole weighs approximately 40 pounds and that gets pretty heavy pretty quickly!
Free tickets to the ballgame turned out to cost $27.75 but we had a lot of fun.
