A night at the ballpark

The boys, especially Colton, were disappointed that we didn’t take them with us to the Brewer’s games in Milwaukee. I made a deal with them that instead, we would take a night & go to a local minor league team to watch them play ball instead – they agreed!

We lucked out that my parents had free tickets for the deck area of the stadium, which included free food & drinks. Our night scheduled to enjoy the game looked a little spotty for showers but we braved it anyway. Soon after we arrived & got into the deck area – it started to downpour…and continued to downpour for almost an hour. The boys were such good sports about being stuck in such a small area with a ton of people, huddled together out of the rain. The game was cancelled, of course, but we still got to enjoy some free food & drinks while we were there. Lucky for us, they gave us all deck tickets to be used at another game instead…so a few nights later we returned to watch some ball on a perfect sunny, summer night.

It was a much nicer evening all around. We sat in the bleachers for the first couple innings to be a little closer to the action. The boys loved seeing it up close & asked a ton of questions (even though they watch the Brewers play on TV all the time). We enjoyed a little bit more of the deck area, more yummy food and finally made it over to the “kids’ area” with inflatables, a ball throw & playground equipment.

The boys had a good time and did pay attention to the game quite a bit. I’m sure it’ll still be a year or two before we take them to a Brewers game in Milwaukee but I know we’ll make more visits back to our local ballpark next summer!

Watching the players warm up.

Pitching warm up too!

This kid has quite the arm!

Wyatt was excited to have a try too!
