Baseball Time

The boys and I went to a Loons baseball game with Grammy tonight. They were pretty serious about taking everything in. Eli was pretty excited while walking into the stadium. He kept chanting, "Baseball!" and doing a little jig. Then he saw a worm just outside the gate. "Worm!" Jig. Total excitement. Maybe not all for baseball, but excited none the less.

Inside the stadium...
Eli grimacing as the Whitecaps scored two runs in the first inning.

Luke grimacing as the Whitecaps center fielder makes three great catches in a row. Three up, three down. (It wasn't the greatest start for Mid-Michigan.)

Lou E. Loon makes his first appearance. Both boys were interested, but were content to wave at the silly bird from their seats. Neither one wanted to get too much closer.

Finally! A Loons home run! Eli and Grammy do the "Funky Feather."

We left at the seventh inning stretch, so we'll have to check tomorrow's paper for the official score. But, we had fun, enjoyed the hot dogs, and the boys are now sound asleep in their beds. I'd say it was a successful Friday outing.
