D-Backs Game

Last night we went to the Diamond Backs game for the 1st time with the kids, courtesy of some friends who gave us some tickets to 4 great seats 10 rows up from the field. We had a really good time. I am not sure what the boys liked more the game or all the snacks or should I say "CRAP" that they were selling that they thought they HAD TO HAVE. Owen spotted the Popcorn stand and quickly informed me that he HAD TO HAVE some. Treat # 1 PopcornThen Owen spotted the Cotton Candy that he HAD TO HAVE but wouldn't even try it after I spent $5.75 on it. Ethan enjoyed it way to much we had to cut him off so I gave the rest to some random guy who was commenting to his wife the he thought our boys were cute. Pay it forward right!!
Then here came the guy with all the dumb gadgets. Owen HAD TO HAVE a giant hand.
The best part of the night was when their cousin Austin joined us at our seats for the rest of the game.
These three have so much fun together. There is a 2 1/2 year difference between Owen and Austin but Owen just loves him. He was so excited that he was there.
We didn't make it through the whole game. We left at the 6th inning. I was actually surprised we made it that long. Lucky for us there was a lot of empty seats around us so the kids had plenty of room to run and play. Owen was tired from a long day at school, so when he asked to go home we decided not to press our luck and leave before a break down happened. We had a good time and Owen even tried his first hot dog, crazy I know what kids doesn't eat hot dogs? MINE!!! I really don't blame him, very rarely do I eat a hot dog. He was watching Austin eat his and decided he wanted a try. After much thought and examination
He took a bite and actually liked it. We will see if that lasts.
We spoiled the kids with way to much crap but they had a great time so it was money worth spent.
Our Family Friday night activity was a lot of fun. We will we have to do it again sometime soon.

That is what going to the game is all about buying the junk food and getting all sugared up. I love the games. Why did you not mention your hot date after the game. I'm a little disappointed where is the love?

You have proof of the hot dog consumption! I'm telling you, there's something about a baseball game that makes what is normally disgusting, delicious! Looks like you guys had a lot of fun.

The only place to eat a hot dog is at a baseball game, it's the only time they taste good! We love baseball games - and all the "crap" that goes with them! Next time you'll have to teach the kids how to eat peanuts and the best part about throwing the shells on the floor!
