Last Friday, we got tickets to the Gary SouthShore RailCats minor league baseball game. It was so much fun. They had a family fun time before the game out in the parking lot with bounce houses, batting cages, and a huge blow-up slide. They also had souvenir stuff, they took pictures to make your own baseball card, a photo as if you are on Life magazine, and a photo with the mascot of the railcats (which Noelle kept saying was a bear.)
During the game, they had something going on at the end of every inning. There were contests out on the field of people they pulled out of the fans, things like shirts and soft baseballs were thrown into the stands, and twice they did silly dances. To me, it was so much more fun than a major league game. James and Noelle enjoyed themselves the whole time. James was a little disappointed that he didn’t catch any of the things thrown into the stands, but in the end, he was okay with that. Jeremy got himself and James long sleeved t-shirts because it got really cool and neither of them had jackets. Noelle got one of those little souvenir bats which she says is a bat just her size. She tried it out on my mouth. Ouch.
It was just really fun and we’d like to do it again sometime.
I have never been to a minor league baseball game but I’m a big fan. It seems like to much fun! I’ll have to find a way to take the kids when they get a bit older.
Thanks for the birthday wishes. I’m glad to hear that you’re in your prime!
