Yesterday we went to our first Cubs game of the year and sat in the bleachers. Ella had a good time eating almost an entire bag of peanuts and pretending to be too shy to sing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame." I even tempted her with the fact that if she was singing the cameras might show her on TV and then Grandpa J would see her. No deal.
The hubby & I had a grand time laughing at the silly drunk peeps. At one point the right field section started their usual chant of "Left field sucks!" One guy stood up in front of us and tried to lead us all in the chant of "Left field sucks!" The hubby & this guy standing behind him just laughed, "Dude, we are left field!"
As for the game it was a good one. Big Z wasn't quite on as usual...maybe he does need all that Red Bull. Especially since he's still 0 for the season at the plate and he's a pretty darn good hitter. We got to see two home runs and a win!
Ella's still not into the game enough to watch for even 7 innings. We left at the top of the 8th as she was almost asleep in the 5th & 6th innings. She kept waking up asking when we were going to sing. Eyes on the prize chica...eyes on the prize. ;)
Overall, it was a great day, perfect weather and outside of the sunburn I have on my right arm, it couldn't had been better.
