take me out to the ball game

We make it to one ND baseball game a year, and this weekend it was it, especially since this was the last home game. Henry loved running around in the grass with his baseball, waiting for the game to start.

"I've got the pop fly, guys"

He played catch with dad of course, and although he's handing it off here, he is getting better at throwing.

What else can you do with a baseball you ask? Well....

you can kick it.....
or use it for a seat....


but the best thing to do is take your baseball and run


and run


and run


and run!

This little guy is not Henry now, but I hope it will be Henry in 4 or 5 years! The batboy was a-DOR-able, gold helmet and everything

We were so impressed with Henry's patience with watching the game, we were able to stay for 7 innings. Of course we were able to break the game up with some running, driving a train on the bleachers, going up-up-up the stairs, and having a snack. The Irish didn't do so hot, I don't even know the score at the end but it was like 9-0 Louisville when we left. It was a lot of fun, and made me remember Henry's first baseball game.
