We took my son to his first ballgame on Sunday! Eight
months old and he loved it. He happily took in all the new sights, smells, and
sounds, and for a while I think he was actually watching the game.
It didn’t hurt that the Giants won that day either. Seeing
the world through my son’s eyes this weekend was fun, and everything from the train
ride to seeing the sailboats circle the ballpark was all new and exciting to
him. It’s something my wife and I would definitely do with our son again.
How was your weekend? What new experiences have you
sought out recently or relived through another? How are the “dog days” of August
treating you?
Looks like you had lots of fun at the ballgame yesterday! Your son is very cute. We took our niece to one of the first Rockies games when she was about your son's age. You won't forget the special experience I'm sure. It is HOT! HOT! HOT! here. I just walked back from an open house in a xeriscape demonstration garden near where I live. I finally learned the names of the drought resistant grasses and flowers in our area! It was very interesting. Have a good one!
ReplyDeleteThat's fun! I haven't been to a ballgame in forever…
ReplyDeleteI'll bet that was a lot of excitement for him. And how fun. I used to go to Rockies games, but I'm kind of a fair weather fan. I tend to only go when they're winning. :P
ReplyDeleteYou'll be able to experience the world again through your son's eyes now. Glad he enjoyed the game and the Giants won for him.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great day!
ReplyDeleteMy weekend was dealing with maintenance issues around the house: replacing rotten trim on the detached garage, and moving a dog pen. The latter was a big pain, because this is a dog-Houdini and we have to lay mesh along the edges to make it more escape-resistant. She'll eventually break open the fencing or climb over, though.
What a day to remember! And what a beautiful family!!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you and the fam enjoyed a wonderful day out at the ball game. It DOES help to have the team you're rooting for win :-)
ReplyDeleteThe weekend was busy with last minute prep for school for my Chipmunk and making sure things were squared away for a cover reveal tomorrow...so yeah...a little busy. lol!
What wonderful memories! I'm glad you took pictures. They'll be wonderful in his baby book!
ReplyDeleteAwesome!!! Your boy is a cutie.
ReplyDeleteIt's been birthday weekend the last two weekends. I catch a break until near the end of Sept.
He's so cute!
ReplyDeleteI remember taking my kids to the zoo and other fun events and crying. And I'm so not a crier! But seeing things through their innocent eyes of delight just filled me with joy. How fun. I miss that. But love them as adults too.
That's so special! And your son is so cute!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure he had a blast! When taking my wife and kids down to stay with my parents, we've visited several places that I went to myself as a kid, like castles. It's fun to both relive the memories and experience them afresh, through their eyes.
ReplyDeleteIt's so different seeing life through a child's eyes. What a wonderful day that was.
ReplyDeleteI have spent much of August indoors to keep migraines at bay. So I go to my son-in-laws photo site (from Switzerland) and look at the photos of my 14 mo. old grandson. I look at them every morning, praying for new photos and maybe a video.
ReplyDeleteGlad your son enjoyed the game, Mark. Looks like you all had a great time. You all look adorable.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos -- look at that red hair! Glad he enjoyed himself. Little League in his future?
ReplyDeleteWe did have a blast to be sure:) We're already looking forwad to going to the game again next year:)
