Our First Rangers Game of the Year!

on the way to the game---sweet Abby in her Rangers hat!

These two guys love baseball more than anyone I have ever met--too cute!

This is the way they view the game---the whole game Reese sits right there on Daddy's lap!

The beloved lemon chill---I should send this to Blue Bunny- what a prefect advertisement!

Seventh inning....sleep:) Abby was especially cuddly last night...which made me so happy:)

Well last night we took the kids to our first Rangers game of the season! Now if you remember last years blogs you know that we go to MANY games--and this year will be no different! We actually were preparing ourselves to not get to go to as many games this year. We have started budgeting (very tightly) (thanks Dave Ramsey:) ) But surprisingly during the off season we accumulated about 40 free tickets going to different Rangers events (God's way of blessing us--He knows we love to go to games...He's got our backs:) So you can imagine how often we will be going and don't worry I won't be blogging about every one....if your lucky:)
So anyways last night we had a great time together and the Rangers WON! The kids are getting more and more into the games---Reese of course knows all the players and watches the whole game sitting on Greg's lap. And for Abby... well she tends to be more excited about the Lemon Chills---which we have put into the budget since she (and I) love them so much:)
Reese and Greg actually had a very "cultural" experience last night (something you don't get to see but maybe once in a lifetime). About the 5th inning Abby and I were in the gift shop (thank goodness) and a streaker ran from the 1st base line all the way to center field where we were sitting (he had boxer shorts on)! (Reese was very curious about what had taken place) We explained to him that the man had had too much "grown-up drinks" and it made him make bad choices and now he was gonna spend the night in jail. Well you can imagine the questions that followed but mainly he just kept telling us he didn't want Daddy and I to go to jail! We promised him we wouldn't streak across the field and that settled him down :)
I am very thankful Abby and I were not there---she and I did NOT need to see that--and well she would probably be traumatized:) ...as would I!
Welp, as you can tell the season started off with a bang and hopefully we will just be viewing good ol' American baseball from here on out!

Editorial Note from Greg: the Rangers took both games of the doubleheader from the Orioles. (no, we didn't take the kids to both games, just the nightcap)
