OSU Baseball

Saturday we went to watch some OSU baseball.

Brad has been working a lot and has been busy most weekends, so it was nice to get away as a family.

We arrived an hour and a half early to the game.  It reminded me of when I was a kid.  My dad always made sure we were the first ones in the ballpark!
 
 
There were some good things about getting to the game early.  The first 250 kids got free tshirts and since Zoe and Cole were the first kids through the gate they got the size and color they wanted.

 

 

We got to watch batting practice.

We also got to pick any seat we wanted.  Cole picked some great seats right behind home plate.We were able to hang out and walk around before the game.

And also eat some snacks from the concession stand.

The bad part about getting to the game so early is that when the game actually did start, Cole was ready to go home.

And by the 4th inning, he fell asleep on Brad's leg.

He slept until the bottom of the 7th.

In between each inning, they honored a child who is fighting cancer.  This is Morgan.  She attends Coweta High School and I've seen her story on Michelle's morning show.  They told all about her over the loudspeaker as she stood there in front of a huge crowd.  This is her 4th fight with cancer and she's doing chemo treatments again.  Several people were crying and she got a standing ovation.  It was pretty incredible.Cole woke up in time for a Cowboy homerun, which won them the game against K State!

Zoe elbowed me through most of the game.  Apparently my loud cheering and dancing was embarrassing her. 

 

I can't help it...baseball games are fun!

After the game, all the kids got to run the bases.

Cole said it was his favorite part of the game.

After the game we went out to eat.  As we were waiting for our table Cole was reading the newspaper.  Zoe said, "Before long, he'll be heating up his chocolate milk, playing soduko, and whittling." 

It was a fun day hanging out with family!
