Today was little league day at the Ball park. We had about eight kids from our t-ball team show up so that we could walk around in a parade on the field, track. Cool right, well not today, they decided to cancel the parade because not enough tickets were sold, and we had waited for about an hour at least before they finally came to let us know. Once they did I started asking for things, like a suite for the night, tokens for the kids park, free food, anything to compensate for this mishap in communications. Well it turns out we did get some free stuff, about 60 Rangers hats, so all the kids got one and pretty much so did Mom and Dad. Plus the best part for us, Bear and Dade got to walk out with Mike Hegeman, a former Rangers pitcher, to throw out the first pitch of the game. That's right we got to go out and wait on the field and then the boys walked out to the mound, while Mike tossed out the first pitch. We, the parents, knew it was too cool, and one day so will Bear and Dade.
Plus as we were leaving Nolan Ryan was almost close enough for me to touch. Instead of being a freak I took a picture.

Wow! Totally makes up for not getting to walk in the parade! How fun for Bear...and a pic of Nolan Ryan WAY COOL!
What a night for the boys.....love grandma Susie
Awesome! How exciting and too cool! Leave it to Al to ask for something in return for waiting in line! Bet the Dads were just as excited as the boys. Bear looks like a natural on the pitcher's mound. He sure has had quite a summer of "firsts".
Love,
Oma (aka Mom)
That's stinking sweet! Although I'd kind of like to see what "being a freak" would look like... :o)
