YANK-KEES! YAN-KEES!

So we are aware of their losing streak...but seriously had a BALL at the Yankees game with my childhood friend Ashley and her husband Buck. They came to visit New York during their 1st Wedding Anniversary and we had such a nice time visiting!

Scott and I have different interpretations of what baseball games are...yes, that is him studying with a big old text book at the game. He also wanted to bring things (crayons, movies) for the girls to do ! Ha, I didn't think so...they were going to enjoy this game the good old fashioned way. (Even if they were a bit rowdy and crazy!)
I took the girls for "walks" in the new Stadium where we go to the bathroom and then return with special treats that I remember loving as a child at baseball games...peanuts, cotton candy, cracker Jacks, hot dogs, pretzels...they REALLY started bringing back the memories, when Paisley started gathering people's empty beer bottles, lining them up and counting them, (Sanitary, I know. Don't worry we washed hands frequently. and then they started running up and down the bleachers towards the end after many had left, playing a squirrel and peanuts game that they made up together. Paisley was also very patient about trying to catch the foul balls in her sunhat...she got pretty darn close. And of course, there is Ella, levitating her juice box, as she defies gravity once again. This child is pretty darn close to doing just that!
Just what I had hoped for... pure, baseball game fun!
Thanks for the memorable day Ashley and Buck!
Just to give Scotty credit: A chic that was sitting above us started a conversation with him, "Are you studying for a test? Ahhhhh....you good guy, I hope you do well" ALSO, Ella did end up drawing in his textbook, in the extra pages, with a highlighter. You're just the best Scotty.
