Kidding around
All week I heard "Brewers", "let's go see "Brewers". For a couple of three year-olds, they really didn't know what exactly they were, except that they were related to baseball. I'm thinking that this was a good start to their young lives.
I figured after seeing that this weekend was the 5 county promotion where tickets were half off, I didn't have much of a chance of getting any seats. I checked on Thursday and the ticket office didn't have any two seats together and to my luck, they were accepting vouchers from the 2007 C'mon Back Club in exchange for standing room only tickets. I figured what the heck, kids don't want to sit and watch an entire game. Baseball is a complicated sport for 3 year olds. They just wanted to know who had the ball. Heck, they thought dad was playing when we got there.
This Brewer game was the first of the season and their first Brewer game of their young lives. I felt like they could go on with their lives now. Actually, I felt that it was my duty to share with them a cool experience, minus the drunkenness and swearing. Obviously they really didn't know what it was about, besides that I watched them and I talked about them. They really didn't quite understand that what they saw at the ballpark, was what they saw on TV, were actually the same thing. Regardless, they played on the kid area and did the little kid sausage race. They spent a good amount of time on our shoulders and snacking on candy and other goodies and for some reason they really liked the sausages. My fiance' and I were happy they were well behaved and I was happy I could spend a night like this.
The only sad part was missing Fielder's 8th inning home run. We were on our way out, but little guys got to see the fireworks.
Next up, Cardinals on May 10th, kids and all.
