First baseball game!

Dear Liam,

Over the weekend, you went to your first baseball game! You and Daddy and I drove to Auntie Cari and Uncle Ty's house on Friday, and Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Brian, Auntie Julia, and Uncle David met us there. On Saturday, we went to Milwaukee for the Twins vs. Brewers game. It was a HOT day, but you were such a trooper! Luckily, Auntie Cari and Uncle Ty had a canopy, so we had some shade for tailgaiting. You had fun playing catch, and also playing Uncle Ty's beanbag toss game. We went in to Miller Park for the game... and we discovered that our seats were in literally the top row of the whole stadium! This was actually really nice- we didn't have to deal with anyone else kicking us in the back, there was a really nice breeze up there! You sat through the first few (pretty boring) innings, and then checked out the kids zone, first with me, and then with Daddy. The game ended up going to 11 innings. You *almost* made it to the end- we started to walk out during the 11th inning, while the Twins were up. Someone hit a homerun as we were making our way out, so we were pretty sure the game would be done soon... and it was. The Twins won! What a fun day!

You were amazing in the car. Seriously, we spent 16 hours in the car over the weekend, and you were so good. Grandma came back with us yesterday, and she's going to spend the whole week with you! Lucky boy! I'm going to take a couple days off this week to hang out with you guys, but I have to work 3 of the days. Grandma will fly back to her house on Saturday.

I love you so much, sweet boy. I hope you had a good weekend. I'm pretty darn sure you did. :)

Love,
Mommy
