Take Me Out to the Ballgame!

Yesterday was a big day for Eli.  We went on our first roadtrip with him to Round Rock, Texas (north of Austin).  Our good friend Lance plays for the Kansas City Royals triple A affiliate- The Omaha Stormchasers.  They were in town to play the Round Rock Express (Texas Rangers triple A affiliate).  So we headed up there to watch Uncle Lance play some ball.  Eli has been to a few softball games (Lance's fiance Shelly's) but this was his first official baseball game.  Totally appropriate that it be a professional game!  Eli hates his carseat/the car so he screamed most of the way there.  We even had to stop at a park on the way to calm him down and let him puke a bit, lol.  We got to see Lance before he headed on the field to stretch and such.  Of course he had to get his Eli fix!!

Elijah did really well once we got there- he even managed to take 2 decent naps during the game.

We were able to meet up with our friends Matt & Kirsten for the game.  They moved to Austin about 6 months ago so it was great to see them!  We know Kirsten from our Hudson Valley Renegades days in New York.  She was also a season ticket holder at The Missions here in San Antonio before they moved up to Austin.  They were excited to meet Eli and even brought him an adorable stuffed animal dog.  We named him Matsen (their names combined).  He's a cutie, just like Eli!!  After the game we said "hi" & "bye" to Lance and then headed out to DQ with Matt & Kirsten.  Elijah impressed these cute old people- they were totally enthralled by him.  It's so fun to show him off :-)  After stopping at a gas station to re-fuel Eli and the car we headed him.  My sweet boy slept the entire way.  Such an angel!! 

We hope he had as much fun at the game as we did.  He will have a sad life if he doesn't end up a fan of baseball :-)
