Gig 'Em Ags!

I've been going to baseball games longer than I can remember. My mom and dad used to take me to Astros games waaaay back when they had the rainbow uniforms (I still think those are great) and they played in the Astrodome. You could get tickets for $1 (no, I'm not that old) on the very top ring. Trust me. It was way up there. We would sit behind Jose Cruuuuuuuuuz (my all time favorite player) and if I had to guess my dad would explain the technical aspects of the game while I would run around. I'm pretty sure no one else was that far up... even though tickets were only a buck.

Fast forward a few years... then a few more... okay a few more. Last night we took Avery and Reagan to an Aggie baseball game. What a blast!

We took Naomi because she needs to be told all the wonderful aspects of College Station. I tried to explain that this was just a little taste compared to a football game. We'll have to go again in the fall. There's nothing better than Aggie football.

We ate at Freebirds. At that point Josh was happy no matter what.

We got to see Uncle Daniel who is leaving next week for an internship in New Mexico. It is so fun to watch him with my girls. I think Avery could ask for just about anything and he would give it to her. As he says, "That's what uncles are for!"

Avery got shoulder rides to and from the game, but the biggie... Daniel caught a foul ball and didn't even think twice about giving it to his favorite nieces. Big bonus points for Reagan since that's her favorite toy right now. So she walked around saying "ball" and chewing on it. I know that's gross, but she'll eat dirt at some point and it wasn't worse than that.

I was so proud of Avery. She really struggled at first because of all the strange sounds and the different atmosphere. But after a while she calmed down and had fun. She was even able to dance to the music between innings. She's getting better.

Unfortunately the Ags ran out of time, but they'll get em next time. All in all, a very succesful night. Whoop!
