Rays Win!

Today Edgar took the day off work and we headed for 'The Trop' to watch the Rays play. It was the first (of many) baseball games for Eli. He did terrific. He was so good the whole time. He loved looking around at all the 'sights'.

Clappin' for the Rays!

Tryin' on Uncle Ryan's hat.

Hanging out with Aunt Jenny (oh yeah...we went with Ryan & Jennifer...Ben & Carly too. The whole gang!)

Oh yeah...there was a game too. I found myself barely watching the game-Eli was so entertaining!

At about the 4th inning we went for a little walk. We were looking for Raymond, but all we found was 'Bubba Gump Shrimp'...

Getting his picture with the Rays...

Sneakin' a seat on the Rays truck

We got back in time for the 7th inning stretch when they experienced a power outage...funny how the screen still works in a power outage...It was okay, though, because they played 'Bugs Bunny' and all were entertained.

Eli took a little nap (about 30 min.) and watched the rest of the game.

Baseball fans :)

YEAH! The Rays won!

One unexpected thing we got to do was run the bases. Edgar took Eli around for his first (again, of many) trip around the bases. Who knows...maybe one day he'll be runnin' them for real!

Down on the field.

We had a GREAT day. We loved being there, and it was so fun to see how well Eli did. Now we know we can go often :)

The trip home was less than thrilling, however. It took us 2 hours...(That included a 15 minute break where I fed Eli) Eli was getting a little restless, but he hung in there. Now he's sleeping, dreaming of baseball, I'm sure...
