Take Me Out To The Ball Game

Last night we went to a local minor league baseball game. Oh so much fun! We had just picked up the schedule for the team (a feeder to the Houston Astros) a few weeks ago and were planning on going sometime soon. Then, Alice & her husband invited us and another couple, and we just couldn't turn it down.

We had lots of fun, if you couldn't tell

There were many reasons why it was awesome. First of all, we got 2 tickets for less than $25, and our seats were really good:

Our view of the game. If you look closely at the screen, that is Will Ferrel with a moustache. Sadly, he wasn't at our game, but was at one recently

Reason #2- It was "Thirsty Thursday", so drinks were super cheap.

Reason #3- Nick caught a foul ball that almost hit me (his first one ever!)

Very proud of his foul ball


Reason #4- I signed up to be a designated driver since I'm not a beer fan, and got a free hot dog & soda...and then won a T-shirt!

Very excited about our winnings! We should've played the lottery last night since we were so lucky!

We are definitely planning on going back again sometime soon! I think next time we're going to sit on one of the grassy areas they have- the tickets for those are even cheaper! Oh, and the game was actually pretty good too, we won 9-3! And there were a couple home runs too! But that was kind of secondary anyway. We just had fun cheering and being ridiculous and hanging out. It was just a really good time all around!
