Brewers game

It's been awhile, but we made it back to Miller Park to see the Brewers beat the Reds. We went with Steve and his kiddos, so we were outnumbered, but the kids behaved pretty well. And I think if you combined all of our viewing experience, we maybe watched an inning of baseball.

So I am trying to get the boys to blog, primarily so I don't have to, but there are probably some educational benefits for them too so that's nice. Below are there comments about the day. Not totally verbatim, but pretty close.

Cole:  When we got into the stadium, instead of a bobble head we got a Bob Uecker magic 8-ball. We then went to our seats and ate Skittles and licorice, and the people behind us gave us a bag of cotton candy (well, half a bag really). We then got to eat our ice cream before our hot dog. Charlie and I called our walking group the Peanut Bros. We called ourselves that because we ate so many peanuts. After that we went down to the first floor and got in line to run the bases after the game.

We also played Pokemon Go on the way to the stadium and then we played a little in the parking lot, but we couldn't catch any Pokemon because we used up all of our Pokeballs.

Henry:  Before the game, we grilled hot dogs in a small grill in the parking lot. Then we played bean bags for a bit. After the game, we went to a park. The park surface was sand, which Dad HATED.
