Take Me Out to the Ballgame...Now TAKE ME HOME!

So, this was supposed to be the EPIC first MLB game for Alex. Just Opa, Mommy and Big Al....it was to be a memory-maker. Well, it was, but not in the way I had hoped. Perhaps the highlight of the day was walking through the sleeping Ford Field (home of the Detroit Lions) on the way to the baseball field. Alex was enthralled with the football arena.

Comerica Field!

Opa getting HIS highlight of the game....an $8.50 cup o'beer! Purchased with MY highlight of the game....finding $40.00 CASH!

Both boys awaiting the start of their first MLB game!

Starting pitcher warming up!

Mommy, it's hot...and so it started.....

While the skies were overcast over most of Michigan, the sun was shining brightly right on our seats. No breeze. 98% humidity. No shade. No fun.

After much complaining of impending heatstroke, we decided to cut our losses and head home after 4 innings. Not quite the result I had hoped for, but everyone (including Opa and I) were pretty miserable! Within 10 minutes of getting to the car, this is what happened.....

The day was saved by Oma and Opa, though. We got to meet Oma and Noah (who decidedly had a "more funner" day than us) for a little DQ treat. What better way to beat the heat than a cotton candy Blizzard!?

THANKS OMA AND OPA!!!!!
