I was talking to one of the other Mommy's at school and she was telling me how her Kindergartener came home with tickets to a Royal's Baseball game. So, while I was at school to eat lunch with Alivia on Friday, I stopped into the office and picked up tickets so we could go.
Let's just say today was a far less than perfect day to go to a baseball game! Brrr! It was 50, quite windy, cloudy, cold, with an occasional bit of drizzle. Nice. The Omaha Royals played the Albuquerque Isotopes (and the Royals won!).
We arrived at Rosenblatt Stadium at 12:30, an hour before the start of the game, and went to find our seats. Then we went out and paid a $1 so the kids could play in the kid zone on bouncers, swing a bat, etc. They had fun, and it did not seem as cold out there.
Just minutes before the game began, we purchased a couple hotdogs and some cotton candy and let the game begin. Chris and I tried to explain the game of baseball to the kids, but they were more interested in all the food Daddy kept buying than the game itself. :) It was seriously freezing. So, about the 3rd inning, Daddy took the kids back out to the bouncers while I buddled up under the blanket. They came back with even more food! We watched the game for a couple more innings, freezing the entire time, before we could not take it anymore. We missed the only homerun, but we were able to enjoy some of the game. I am not sure the kids were able to completely get the idea of baseball or be able to enjoy the experience of going to the game because it was so cold. But, we were able to get to Rosenblatt before it is only a memory. And, they were able to taste test the hotdogs, popcorn, cotton candy and nachos! No Joke!
The kids said they had fun, and that is all that is important. It will be hours before I am completely thawed though and days before their tummies recover!
Want to go to a Omaha Royals Baseball game? The gate opens 1h and 5 minutes before the first pitch. Bring plenty of cash for food because that is all the kids want. Bring a small bag with kids' supplies including a lot of hand wipes. Don't forget your camera to capture the last season at Rosenblatt. Do not bring these things because they are no allowed: Video camera, big bag or backpack, or umbrellas. Have fun - and go on a warm day!
