Boys and Baseball

We've gone to three Blue Crabs games this summer.  It's the local minor league baseball team (Atlantic League of Professional Baseball).  The stadium is new and really nice.  The crowds have been really small for 2 of the 3 game we've attended so you are able to sit really, really close to the field.  The first time we went, we sat near the opposing teams dugout.  By the end of the game, the players were talking to Carson and Erik.  They even gave them a piece of gum.  Ha!

The games go by pretty quickly and they've won 2 out of 3.  We even saw a grandslam at the second game.   Lainey has declared that baseball is boring but the boys love it.  Erik focuses the entire time and cheers loudly for his team.  I love it!!  Carson likes it a lot, although I'm pretty convinced he likes the opportunity for a baseball snack as much or more than the game.

Victor was out of town this weekend so I took the three boys myself (dropped Lainey off at a friends house - per her request).  It's a fun way to spend a day! I'm so glad we discovered it!

Here are some photos from today....

Erik LOVES baseball now!
He has read two chapter book series on baseball (13 books)
during the past month.  He also decided to switch from soccer to baseball this fall.
It is cute to see him so passionate about it!
