The Old Ball Game :)

LJ loves to sing "Take me out to the ball game", and after he finishes singing, for a little while, he calls a baseball game, "the old ball game", (i.e. "I want to go back and watch the old ball game, mom".)  Today, we went to the ball game and watched Lance pitch. Our only time in the stands was the inning he was throwing, and the rest of the time, we were at the playground.  It is a great idea to have a playground at a ballpark!  This one is baseball-themed, (as you can see in the pictures from the other day), and he loves it.  There are always other kids around to play with, too, so LJ has a blast.
After the game, we went to the mall.  We were going to let LJ play on the playground, get a snack and maybe eat dinner at the food court.  LJ played HARD, running laps like Rookie with the other kids.  We ate dinner at the food court then headed home to play a few holes of golf.  Keep in mind it was about 6:30 p.m., and LJ was already exhausted.  We only played two, but LJ and I walked them while Lance played, so he was DONE by then.  We came home, had an icecream cone and a bath before putting him to bed.  I wonder how he'll sleep tonight.  
I hope you had a wonderful day, too!

This is him, late into playtime, exhausted and resting.


The taller kid, (around 5), organized a game with LJ and the other kid, (about 4 or 5?)  They kept repeating themselves, not understanding why LJ wasn't obeying their instructions, (he's 2, guys :) ).  Eventually, LJ understood that the game was to stand in a line and throw the ball on the count of 3 then run and get it...over and over :)


Taking a rest on the Rays spinning thing :)


Do you really want a peace of this? 


Brave boy -- standing on top of the ambulance in the mall...making me nervous :)


after all that, running after Lance in the golf cart


Poor Rookie has to stay in the cart, but at least he got to come!
