Texas Rangers Game

Friday night we took the kids to a Rangers game. We got there early, so we ate dinner at the restraunt that overlooks the ballpark while we watched both teams warm up. After that, we found our seats and enjoyed the first few innings of the "BIG baseball game". Cooper was very impressed with all of the new sights and sounds and with how big the baseball field was. Allie wondered, from the time we sat down, when she could get a Lemon Chill. Jack was very interested in how much money the players might make. He asked if he would make more money as a professional baseball player or an actor. Such dreams!!! I am all for that though... maybe he'll give me a mountain cabin for Christmas someday. :) After a while, we took the the kids to an area at the ballpark with baseball-themed games for them to play. One of them was a mini baseball diamond where the boys tried to hit baseballs. Cooper was so excited to see "MY baseball game" but did not understand why he had to stand in line for nearly an hour to get a chance to hit the baseball. I have not seen too many things that are cuter than my baby boy - as proud and confident as could be - up to bat. He had this chunky little bat, and when he hit the ball he took off running around the pitcher... two times. He was so proud of his "home run"! The first words out of his mouth the next morning were, "I made a home run!" Jack was second up to bat, and he smashed the ball as well. When we got back to our seats, Allie got her long awaited Lemon Chill, and we watched the end of the game. The Rangers lost, but the night was a win for the Powells.
