Family Fun Night!

Friday May 15th we took a trip down to Arlington, TX to watch the Texas Rangers play baseball!!! Boy, did we have a fabulous time!!! It was not planned at all and it was great to do something spontaneously for a change. (Thank you Honey for the awesome idea!) Byron got off work early. We got tickets online to guarantee that the 2 hour drive was worth it! We arrived at the game in the bottom of the first inning. We got there right as Josh Hamilton was up to bat! He got a triple. YAY!!! Our seats were in center field. We were on the back row which was perfect b/c we could come and go as we pleased by jumping over the back of the seats. We also were right next to the Angels' bullpen. Once the relief pitchers started warming up, Jackson didn't leave that area! Jackson didn't take his eyes off the sky too much that night either! He didn't miss a plane that flew over the ballpark! The kids did spectacular! We actually made it through the entire game. The kids never once had a meltdown, maybe that is due to all of the junk food they were allowed to eat at the game! After the game, they had a fireworks show! It was incredible! The kids LOVED it! Jackson at times got a little scared, but was definitely intrigued. As we walked to the car, Jaycee squeezed Byron's neck and said "Thanks Dad this was a lot of fun." Jackson kept saying "Fun!" Both kids fell asleep on the way home. It was a great night full of awesome memories!!! The Rangers won 10-8. Josh Hamilton also had a home run to the upper deck and he threw out a guy at home plate from center field!!! That play was #6 on the top plays of the day on Sportscenter!!!


Jackson doesn't like the sun! If its on his side he says "No like sun in my eyes!" Thankfully, we remembered his shades! He was a little happier when he got to wear these! Papa this picture is for you!!!

Jaycee just a little excited about our trip! (More b/c she knew that she would get lots of junk food!)

Jackson getting his first taste of a pretzel with cheese! He LOVED it! He didn't eat another piece of pretzel without it!!!

Jaycee giving us the peace sign! She learned this from her cousins!!!
