The Ball Yard

We had the pleasure of attending the last home game of the season at Dickey-Stephens Park a few weeks back.

It was the first ball game for the kids, and we had a beautiful night! Too bad it was in the midst of Brad finishing two classes for school.  He finished a paper about 10 minutes before we left for the game and then took a big Hebrew test the next day.

Though we may have been lacking sleep and few brain cells, we scampered off to the ball yard with our FREE tickets (thank you Central Arkansas Library Systems — you rock!)

Of course the highlight of the evening was the food. Hot dogs, cokes, french fries, and ice cream. And this cute little girl, who LOVED watching the “baseball guys.”

I know that Brad really enjoyed chasing Gus all around the stadium. We made the mistake of walking past the “Kid Zone” which is basically a bunch of inflatable toys that costs money. We’re not cheapies (or at least I’m not) but I wanted to eat with the money we had, not watch the kids fall all over each other in the bounce house. Gus continued to attempt Kid Zone break-ins for the remainder of the night.

We made it through two innings and then decided to call it a night.

Maybe we’ll make it to the third inning next year. But I’m not holding my breath on that one.
