Baseball for Breakfast
Friday night of the bookfair, Darrel, Joshua, Jonny and my brother John Mark went to see the Texas Rangers play baseball. They beat the Oakland Athletics 4-0. I think John Mark had wanted all of us to go, but I was unsure if the kids would last for a full game and didn't want to pay for all of them only to have them want to leave. So my sis-in-law and her girls went with Sarah and the little ones to go swimming at our hotel.
We had a good time and I think the kids enjoyed themselves.
Saturday morning while in line at the breakfast buffet, a man asked Darrel how big his crew was and Darrel told him we had seven children. The man seemed pleased that we had a large family. He asked if we would like to go see a Ranger ball game and said he worked for the Rangers and would like to give us tickets. Darrel said sure. Later that day, the tickets came. The man had given us nine 35.00 dollar tickets ($315.00).
So after the bookfair, we loaded up and went to the game. This was the first big game for Jordan on down and it was fun to explain things to them as we watched them play. We got to see a homerun (with fireworks), we enjoyed watching the mph being posted after each pitch and we were in a section where they come and ask you what you would like to eat and they deliver it to you. Hannah and Stephen loved the peanuts and Jordan loved the cotton candy. We all enjoyed watching the Rangers beat Oakland 6-4.
