Let's Go, Rangers!

Last night, Nicholas and I had the coolest time going to a Texas Rangers baseball game with our friends Mrs. Deb and Emma Rae. The Rangers played the Cleveland Indians. Nicholas had never been to a baseball game and he just loves spending time with Emma Rae so this was a real treat for him.

Mrs. Deb picked us up and Nicholas enjoyed munching on Cheez It crackers in the back seat with Emma Rae.



We got a great parking spot and walked to our seats which were just behind home plate. How awesome!



Nicholas and Emma Rae did a great job singing The Star Spangled Banner together.



I think Nicholas' favorite part of the game was all of the great food! He had a hot dog, kettle corn, cotton candy, and a lemon chill. He especially enjoyed listening to the guys walk up and down the stadium aisles and how they sort of chanted out what they were saying. He kept imitating them..."Keeetttlle cooorrrrnnn!"



Here is Nicholas enjoying his cotton candy. He also enjoyed that fireworks were shot every time the Rangers hit a home run!



There is a chant that the crowd says, "Let's Go, Rangers!" followed by a rhythm of claps. Emma Rae has been to many Rangers games so she is already quite familiar with it but to help Nicholas get the rhythm right I counted out the beat for him. Next thing I knew, the two of them had added my rhythm counting to the chant. It was working so who was I to stop them.



At some point in the game we all took a break to sing, "Deep In The Heart of Texas". Nicholas knows this well from school and you can see that he really got into it!



Thanks, Mrs. Deb and Emma Rae for inviting us to this awesome game! By the way, the Rangers lost 12-9 but it was still an awesome game :)
