Last night we drove down to
Minutemaid Park to see the
Astros play. I tried to talk up the baseball game to Jackson all week. We checked out baseball books from the library and read them over and over. I also helped him make his own baseball, and he hit his baseball off the tee all week. He was ready!
It was a beautiful night out!
Our seats were right above the bullpen, so we spent some time watching the pitchers warm up.
Once Jackson spotted the train that was all he could talk about. He wanted to see it move. Sadly, there were no
homeruns, not even one run by the Astros!
Jackson's world changed around when he got a ball of his own. One of the pitching managers threw one up to Brian for Jackson. It pays to be cute! He kept saying, "The guy threw the ball up! It's my ball!"
We kept Jackson entertained on the baseball game with popcorn, a trip to the
playland,
Mickey,
a walk around the stadium (sporting his helmet),
and Ice cream!
We ended up leaving up after the 7
th inning because Jackson had enough, except that he was still awake when we got home. Could of it been all the sugar? I love that Jackson got a baseball, what a special memory for his 1st game!
What a fun family night!
