A great childhood memory for me was attending the Detroit Tigers games. I was one of their die hard fans when they weren't a very good team at all. My mom would take my brother and I.. and a lot of times some friends to the Tigers game every season, and I always had so much fun. Other than maybe one Braves game, I haven't been since junior high. North Carolina doesn't have a professional baseball team, but the Carolinas have a minor league team called the Knights. We went today with another friend from playgroup and had a really good time. There were 6,000 people in attendance, but it still wasn't very crowded and we got to be within the first few rows of the front at 3rd base. I have never been so close to the game before. It was great! This was Katelynn's (and Justin's for that matter) first game and it took her a bit to understand what was going on. She doesn't have it all down pat yet, but when we got home, she wanted to play baseball, and I was shocked at how much she had took in of the players holding their bat. She already had her very own stance down, much like she had watched today. At bedtime tonight she requested that we play baseball again tomorrow. I'll have a baseball fan in no time! :)
So fun! I'm impressed you took both kids - good for you! Noah went to his first game last year and had a ball too. Can't wait to go again!
