Rangers Game

Recently a friend at church gifted us 4 tickets to a Rangers game.  SWEET!  So my mom and I took Jack and Cade.  Cade had already been to a Rangers game, but this was Jack's first time. 

To say that it was hot is an understatement.  It was probably hovering around 90 degrees, not counting how hot the sun and humidity made it feel.  And I'm guessing our plastic seats were in the range of 120 degrees.  The seats were so hot that it actually burned my skin a little through my shorts.  Ouch.  So each boy sat on our laps.

After 2 innings of suffering in the sun, the boys needed to go to the bathroom.  After we took care of that business, we realized there was a really nice breeze going through his shady part of the stadium.  And there just happened to be some barstools and a closed-circuit TV that was playing the game.  SWEET!  So we abandoned our great seats and sat in the shade in a little restaurant kind of area in The Ballpark and watched the game.

Three innings of sitting there not being able to watch the game live got kind of boring for the boys...

We ended up leaving early, somewhere in the 5th.  And that was OK.  I got to see The Ballpark again (which is just beautiful) and got to take in part of a ballgame.  And the boys got to skip part of school (it was a 1pm game) which made it extra special for them.
