Take Me Out To The Ballgame



Carter's baseball season ended the first part of June and we have really missed those evening outings to the ballpark. Each player in the Cal Ripken League was given a free ticket to the Chukars Minor League baseball game for tonight. So Todd, Carter and I went to the game and had such a great time! All the players lined up by the 1st base and when each team was called, they ran along the sidelines toward 3rd base.

Carter is the 3rd one from the front and wears the #8 jersey.

It was so neat to see all the teams lined up along the sideline! The players and coaches all had the biggest smiles. It was great!

After the parade, all the teams exited the field and watched the "big boys" warm-up. When it was time for the National Anthem, the Chukars and Ghosts (from Casper, WY) lined up in front of their dugouts and the little kids got to run across the field and were stopped on their way across to salute the flag. It was an awesome sight!

Carter loved watching the game and never seemed to get bored. I asked him a few times if he was ready to go yet and he shook his head quickly and said, "No." The Chukars won 7-4. Todd and I enjoyed spending time just with Carter. He's ready to go again!
