Take Me Out To The Ballgame

On Saturday, Ted and Joe met up with Graham and his Dad at a Minnesota - Northwestern baseball game at the HHH Metrodome. It was a chance to take the boys to a big league stadium but in a low stress and inexpensive way. $4 tickets and about 100 people in the crowd was just about our speed. We took some seats behind home plate, actually we took a whole section for ourselves. The boys got to meet the UM mascot, "Goldie", stand for the national anthem, and sing Take Me Out To The Ballgame (finally, all that practice pays off!). The highlight for Joe was probably getting to go out to the concourse and buy M&Ms as a treat. We left after 7 uneventful innings (we learned later the Gophers won in the bottom of the 9th with a 2-run walk off hit) and headed home to mow the lawn - another national past time.
