Play Ball!

We had a great time yesterday when we went on a field trip with Peter's school group. They were a group of 4 year-olds going to the Bee's Baseball Stadium. It was awesome! We were able to go onto the field, up to the VIP Private Rooms, and the children were taken down to the dugout where the ball players are during a game. Jenny took lots of pictures and was sweet enough to send me some to post here.

 This is when we first got there and were waiting for the tour guide to arrive.

Here we are out on the dirt area of the field. We were told not to go on the grass. They have three full-time people and 12 part time people that work every day to keep the field nice and green.

Grandpa is going down the walk to get over to the elevators so we can go up to the top floor where the announcers and the sky boxes are located.


Here we are up on the top floor in a special area with cooking facilities and tables and chairs so people who want to have a party and watch the game can gather and enjoy! Fun!

At the end of the tour each of the little people received a bouncy baseball from the tour guide. Here is Peter showing it to grandpa. The children all loved that!

The tour is over and back to our cars! We had such a fun time! Thank you Jenny for inviting us to come along!

Here is one funny thing the Jenny told me. She said one of teachers commented that Jenny must be wrong when she told them that Grandpa played Triple A ball about 70 years ago. The teacher said he couldn't have because he looks like he is only about 70 years old now! She was surprised when Jenny told her Grandpa will be 92 years-old next week on his birthday! So funny!
