Take Me Out to the Ball Game

Tonight we took Anthony to his first baseball game, to see the San Jose Giants play the Lake Elsinore Storm. It was a great time, even for those of us who don't appreciate baseball. Anthony got to high five Gigante the Giant, play in the bouncy house a bunch, climb up and down the bleachers, and at the end of the game he ran around the bases with the other kids. That was pretty darn funny to watch, he couldn't keep up with the others in his group and got left behind pretty quickly. Then he got lost somewhere between first and second base for awhile. He got back in it and gamely trotted around the bases as fast as his little legs would carry him.

Anthony did miss out on two important parts of baseball. He was bouncing away while they sang, "The Baseball Song". Too bad as we'd practiced and he was pretty darn good. Another complaint: they didn't actually sell Cracker Jacks at the stadium. Hello! The song even mentions them by name! He did enjoy his peanuts, though.
