My First Baseball Game

Last night we took Peyton to his first Tides Baseball Game. One of Kevin's best friends is moving to Orlando in a couple of weeks and wanted a last hoorah before he left! So, eventhough it was a Tuesday night, we managed to make our way to the game!

Peyton, Kevin and I met up with Dave, which by the way has become one of Peyton's best buddies, and went into the stadium. Peyton wanted to stay with Dave the whole time. We went in got Peyton a box of popcorn and a coke and met up with everyone else.

When we got to our seats, Cooper (the one moving) tried to hold Peyton and he didn't like that. He wanted his buddy Dave! He sat on Dave's lap for the first 3 innings watching and eating popcorn and shouting out to the mascot who we guess he was calling Elmo. And for the record, this guy is blue and his name is Riptide! Dave tried to take him down to get a closer look at Riptide but Peyton wanted nothing to do with that. He started crying for mommy as soon as they started walking towards him.

Peyton managed to snag a foul ball on his first ever baseball trip. He actually didn't catch it himself, but was given one from a nice guy who was working at the stadium. He was trying to throw it at everyone so we had to take it away. Then, Cooper tried to make friends by buying the little guy a Riptide Beanie Bear. He thought that was pretty cool and held on to him the rest of the night!

We left after the 4th inning because it was way too cold and was getting late. Peyton did great sitting through the game though. He was clapping when everyone else did and taking it all in! It was such a great night...too bad we forgot the camera~
