Redhawks!

The kids got free tickets to a Redhawks game from the Memorial Marathon, so after Josh preached at Tealridge Sunday, we went to the game! They have the stadium decorated with all of the famous baseball stadiums around the US--here are the kids in front of the Wrigley Field sign:

It was chilly (really cold, if you ask me!), and there were not many people there--so we got to sit in the first row! Jodee and Dylan wanted to go up high--while Josh and Dustin stayed down low:

It worked out great--Dustin got a ball from the 3rd base coach! Very cool!

I kept Dylan entertained by taking him to the left field bleachers. He loved it because we had them to ourselves--he played with his baseball on the steps, chased birds, and saw some great plays by the guy in left field!

Here he is chasing the birds....can you see the bird?

After a while, Josh, Dustin, and Jodee joined us in the bleachers, and thankfully Josh was there--the Zephyr's hit 2 homeruns directly to our seats! He got both homerun balls--he and the kids were WAY excited! It was great!

After the game, they had Sonic Sunday Funday--where the kids run the bases, hit balls off of tees, and we could play catch in the outfield. It was so much fun! Dustin hit the ball over the fence--he felt good! Here are Dustin and Josh playing catch:
This is after the game with all 3 balls from the game: (yes, it was late, and Dylan was sleepy, thus, no smile!)

Can't beat free tickets....it was perfect!
