We got free tickets to a Sacramento River Cats game for Saturday, August 28th from Jim's work. The River Cats are a AAA team for the Oakland A's. This was the boys first experience at baseball. To start it off - it was the coolest day in August - at about a 73 degree high. With a wind, we thought we were going to freeze our booties off in the evening. Luckily, my 3 year old human blanket worked quite well keeping me warm!
Jacob took this picture. Even though we had some of the cheapest tickets - the view was pretty good. Being a fairly small stadium, there aren't many bad seats.
The boys did well and we stayed to the top of the 7th inning. We were glad we had free tickets - with snacks being so expensive and parking - we still spent about $30. With the tickets - we would have been out about $80. Before we even got there, Jacob was looking forward to cotton candy and a sno cone. Well - he tried 1 bite of cotton candy - didn't like that - and wasn't too fond of the sno cone either. Levi enjoyed them though!
So - we also had some licorice and popcorn. The popcorn was a big hit. What could be more fun then eating tasty snacks, watching the mascots be silly, dancing to the music, and cheering with the crowd. Oh...and watching the game! After every hit - Jacob would ask if it was a homerun. I guess I need to start teaching my boys about baseball!
It was a fun evening! With the boys getting older - I can see more first time events in our future. Looking forward to checking out a Sacramento Kings game someday!
