Today Jon and I did the unimaginable, we woke up before both of our kids and didn't have to go full speed as soon as we opened our eyes! What a nice way to start the day. I think we have forgotten how to just get up and be calm. Slowly we all got around to shower, dress, and eat breakfast. Odie ran some last minute errands to the ATM and Dollar Store with the twins. Delia got in a partial nap and Cade had a poopy diaper that Wylie let me know about in secret. By 10:30 we were all primed and ready to head into Cleveland to take in an Indian's game. This has been much anticipated by all involved. Jon and Odie are psyched to take the kids to their first major league game. The boys are psyched because they have been going to minor league games for a while now, Wylie is psyched but doesn't quite know what she is psyched about and I am just hoping that it all goes much smoother than it plays out in my mind. All of the boys have been on the computer all morning learning about starters, looking at pictures of the field and doing other basebally stuff. Wylie and Cade slept most of the way to Progressive Field so Jon and I got a lot of quite, alone time to get caught up since we haven't been able to at night. We are both happily surprised that our whole trip has gone so well. Many people had us packing up and heading back West by this time and so far, aside from Wylie getting tired and wanting to go home, we have no regrets about taking this trip.
We arrived at Progressive Field, Jacob Field for the old schoolers, at 12:00 just in time to hear the Start Spangled Banner as we walked across the parking lot to the field. Game time temp is 71 and our seats are in a nice open space. I guess that's a plus with going to a Thursday afternoon game, not a lot of other people are in attendance. All of the kids did great throughout the game. Cade was mesmerized for the first 2 innings and Wylie was just trying to take it all in with her little through poking out of her teeth. There were 2 home runs hit our way and that was great excitement for the boys. Lunch was pretzels, popcorn and brats/sausages with the works. Our kids are living the high life. We got up to walk around during the 6th inning to walk around and look at the stadium. Icees as big as the kids and singing "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" during the 7th inning stretch and a pink baseball for Wylie and a blue and red baseball for Cade during the 9th inning=HAPPINESS!!! The kids made it all the way through the game partially because it was so quick. We were in the car by 3:00. Indians won 6-1. We were able to get home in time to pack the car and have a decent dinner. It's clean out the fridge night, so yes, that meant another round of hot dogs and hamburgers. An after dinner soccer game, Dads vs Kids ,one last trip to the beach to find more treasures and sand castle building, a family pic in front of the lake and another round of sno cones rounded out our big day. Kids went in for some baths and before bed time wrestling and naked baby running to fully expend all energy before heads hit the pillow. We were able to have some more quiet adult time and then adults heads hit the pillow with alarms set for 5:00 AM.
Cute moment:
-Wylie taught Delia her first word "uh oh". She learned it at dinner time and said it over and over and over again all evening!!
