Major (League) Baseball

Memorial Weekend was all about baseball for our family. We took a road trip to Denver to watch the Colorado Rockies play. The kids did pretty well on the 6 hour drive from GpaA'a and GmaShoppers house to Denver. It rained/snowed most of the drive, but when we got to Denver the weather was really nice. When we arrived on Friday, the guys went to the game and the girls took the kids to the Denver Aquarium. Sister Bear liked the SeaHorses and Brother Bear Liked the Giant Sea Turtle. There was a cave that had a flash flood that made all of the kids cry. We had to go back through it to get out, and I have never seen Brother Bear run so fast. We even dined with the fish. We had a really good time. Both A and I forgot our cameras back at the hotel, so we purchaed a disposable camera. I'll post some pics in a few days. The guys had a good time at the game, but it went into extra innings (13) and they didn't get back until almost midnight.

On Saturday we stolled down the 16th Street Mall and hung out at ESPN Zone before going to the game.

The game was fun, even though the Rockies lost, and the kids favorite part was meeting Dinger (the mascot), and eating Nachos and Cotton Candy.

We headed back to Roosevelt on Sunday, and took Sister Bear to the Emergency Room with a bladder infection. No Fun!

Monday we made our way home and then went to the Bees game. Boston's team, the Defender's,were the Field of Dream Team. They were introduced on the field, got their picture on the jumbotron, stood on the field with the Bees Players during the National Anthem, took a tour below the stadium, and got a ball or a shirt from the team. Brother Bear loved the player who gave the boys gum from the bucket in the dugout.

But the best parts...

Meeting Bumble,

and Sword Fighting (Hey they're five and six!)
