sox vs. yankees

Today was the last game of the season for the Sox.  They played the Yankees, so that's always fun.  Of course, we had to buy our tickets about a year in advance, so it's too bad that this season turned out to be a bust, but hey, sox v yanks is always a good time.

And, we got to bring Abs.  So, yay. :)

Even though the Sox were out of the playoffs, we still had the chance to keep the Yankees from being 1st in the division.  So, that was enough for us.  We beat them, I think 8-4 in the end.  We left before the end of the game due to Abs being so tired, Kyle being so tired, me being so tired, and our admitted desire to beat the train crowds.  

But we stayed for 7/8ish innings and had fun.  We had coke and pretzles, hot dogs and fries.  Abs clapped every time the crowd did and looked concerned when they booed.  She copied the sing-songy tone of those around us chanting "jeeeeeeter, cheeeeater..."  She entertained those around us and was really very good.  Especially considering she didn't get a nap and hadn't eat much when we got there. 

It was cold today.  The high was in the 50s, and with the wind in the stands, we were happy to huddle together.  It's really really hard to take good pictures in the stand because you're right on top of the person next to you, so everything ends up being way too close.  But, hey, we tried. 

After we watched the game for a while, we walked around and let Abs play in the kids area.  She experienced her first bounce house - something we weren't sure if she was ready for or not...but decided to let her try.  She had a blast!  She was just toppling over everywhere and laughing until she could barely breathe.  It was fun to watch.  

Anyway.  Here are a few pictures from the afternoon.  It was a nice day.  I'm happy to have spent it with my little family.

I like this shot.
