In July, we took the boys to St.Louis for their first Major League Baseball game. Who did we see?? Cubs vs. Cards - who else:)????? It was a VERY hot weekend, but thankfully, the Iowa uncles came through with tickets that were in the shade with a big fan above us, and had access to an air conditioned clubhouse so we could get a reprieve from the heat. This was where Mommy and Papa spent the majority of the game :). They had a great time, and Brock wouldn't leave his seat the entire game - not with any amount of enticement!!
A pre-game nap for Brock. It was a good thing he got this - he needed every bit of energy he had to focus on the game:). This guy LOVES baseball!!!
Almost asleep - he eventually napped, too. He's a baseball lover, too!!
Daddy and his boys - the Cardinal fans (at least for this day:). Brock was busy taking in the sights of the ball park. The guy behind us apparently waited until he got to the ball park to take his nap:).
Another shot - better of Brock, worse of Kyle - typical:). Brock cracks us up because he thinks that Albert Pujols is Daddy's "friend", and each time Albert came up to bat, he would say, "Look, Daddy!! There's your friend!!". He even fooled some of the people sitting around us when they heard him saying this, and they asked Rob if it was true:).
And one with Mommy.
A shot of the field, so you can actually tell where we were:).
As Kyle is surveying the crowd, he notices that some other people are eating soft pretzels with cheese. Promptly he asks, "Mom, can you get ME a pretzel with cheese??". I guess it's all part of the ball game experience!!
Brock didn't mind the pretzel, either:).
Later, Kyle took an air conditioning break and saw someone eating ice cream. You guessed it -he had to have that, too!! Good thing Papa was there to accommodate this request for him:).
Brock, still not leaving the seats, not even for ice cream!! Hanging with Uncle Kurt. Love his face!!
A better one with Uncle Wyan, too.
Each of the boys got to pick out their own Cardinal's hat as a souvenir. Here's Kyle with the hat that he picked out. Silly guy!!
Daddy and Kyle - notice how neither one could look at the camera?? We were standing in front of big window where you could see the game from inside, and they couldn't tear their eyes away from the field - cracks me up!! Like father, like son!!
Checking out the field after the game.
Daddy and the boys.
Couldn't pick a favorite shot:).
One with Papa, too!! He was glad to have Mommy along this time - another Cub fan for moral support:).
Daddy and the boys with the Iowa uncles - The Cardinal fans of the group.
A family shot in front of the field.
And then when the game was finally over, all of the players had left the field, and there was nothing more to watch, Brock finally consented to go and pick out his hat:). He was determined to wait and not miss one bit of the game action!!
Contemplating his choices, and receiving a little advice from Uncle Kurt - "You don't really want an orange Cardinals hat now do you??" :).
He settled on blue:).
Daddy making sure it's what he wants.
Goofball Kyle!!
Looking pretty spiffy, but definitely worn out!!
We all had a great time, and the boys can't wait to go again!! And, per Daddy's request, I have to conclude by telling you that the Cardinals won the game - this time:).

I noticed you were wearing Brown....and nothing related to Cubs....does this mean someone is being swayed to the other side?? Hope so...its about time! :)
