Play Ball!!!


It's baseball time again. We had tickets to one of the preseason games and it was soooo cold. It was just me and the three youngest kids. We bundled up well except that Evan insisted on keeping his outer jacket off so that his red Phillies shirt would show. By about the sixth inning we were ready to cash it in (we are usually die hard fans, but hey, it was a preseason game and freezing) but Evan would not hear of leaving. I made him a deal that at the 7th inning stretch we would go down to a lower (i.e. warmer and closer) level. It they would let us sit down there, we would stay a little longer. He agreed. Well, the staff had no problem letting us go down and sit closer to the action so we settled in some new seats.
Before long, Evan spotted one of the camera men taking pictures of fans and putting them up on the big screen at the park. He headed down and began kind of stalking the guy. The camera man figured him out and with a smile, took some great footage of Evan which went right up on the screen. He was thrilled. We were not smart enough to take a picture of him up on the screen, but Evan's day was made. This photo tells it all. A very fun memory!!

  1. Good old Evan. Sometimes it pays to stalk, I guess. :)
