Back in December, we went to a hockey game with Jason, Niki, Grandma, and Papa. Madison was able to go, but Ellie had her own special time with her other grandparents. I never posted the pictures, and their were some cute ones. Consider the first part of this post “throwback.”
More recently, we all went with Sandy and a few of her teacher friends to the Akron Rubberducks game; it was teacher appreciation night, hence all the teachers! It was a perfect night for a ball game – a light jacket if you wanted, not too much sun, no humidity, great seats, and lots of hits. The girls enjoyed their time. I think they mostly enjoyed that they got corn dogs and pizza AND neon colored super kid ice cream. (We splurged a little considering the tickets were only $6 each.)
Madison enjoyed the mascots that roamed around the stadium and ran around the field. Ellie did not so much love them. Madison took a picture with the Rubberduck and even gave him a hug. Ellie posed with Daddy from afar; you see the duck in the background? That’s about as close as she would get.
Jeremy bought raffle tickets to support Hospice. He threw tennis balls toward hula hoops on the field to win a prize. He accurate arm got the ball in one hoop. The prize? A Homer (the pigeon mascot) bobblehead. Awesome? Ellie did think this was pretty cool!
We didn’t get home until 11am. Ellie was wide awake still; Madison had fallen asleep. It was a good time. I am sure we will take in one more ballgame this season. For those who haven’t gone lately, the Rubberducks stadium is nice and the tickets are a good price.
