Reds game

Well check another item off the bucket list! It started the way our other summer bucket list item did: screaming kids, tired parents, running late and us wondering if this is even worth it. Luckily it also ended the same way: with us deciding that YES it was worth it! Hopefully our kids will remember a fun night at the ball park with mom and dad and not the chaos it took to get to that point.

Noah had...oh about 4,382 questions about the game.

Mary was super excited about the game!

For about 3 seconds. Good thing we brought reinforcements.

At one point I asked Mary is she could read any of the signs she saw. Big mistake. She looked around, got excited and pointed to one, " yeah mom! That one says, 'this bud's for you!'" Awesome.

We survived! Sometimes making it somewhere is a huge challenge when you have to find sitters for younger kids, corral older kids, and pack or get things ready for both groups. I do think in the end I may remember the struggle but the kids will remember the fun.
