Rangers Live




While Ben’s youngest sister and her family were in town we decided to take a break from swimming to watch the Rangers play ball. For about two weeks Bear has been asking Ben “. . .I go back to Texas Rangers.” It was so cute, and just what Ben has probably always wanted. He loves baseball and really enjoys the fact the Bear wants to watch games. Although he really wanted to sit close to the bullpen, we could not because our tickets were a few rows back, but very good seats considering its summer in Texas, which means HOT and HUMID. So since we were going to be there with no less than six (6) walking children we decided to go on Kid Free Day, which is Tuesday nights. Basically tickets were half priced, for everyone, plus the kids got free batting helmets. And from the look of the stands we could have come in a little bit before the game and gotten helmets but you can never be to sure. Needless to say the kids had a lot of fun. They watched the game, played games and of course enjoyed some overpriced concessions. What more could you ask for on a family night out. The kids for the most part all wore some article of Texas Rangers propaganda, and could not wait to go to the game. Ben actually spent quality time watching the kids while I had Cooper, since game time is right around sleep time, but he still had lots of fun. I’m sure this will not be our last game of the season, especially if the Rangers keep up with their current record. As I write this I can hear to ball game on the TV in the background, we are never without baseball during the season.
