family night with the rockies!

pictures and commentary to be added later... in the meantime, just enjoy a few from honey's blackberry.

sitting in the handicap seating... just taking a break from walking around.

 

i'm sure every parent says it but i think my child's cuteness is above average.

they had a coloring station in the souvenir shop.  how convenient!

we wouldn't have gone to the game except that honey had one of his ice cats (byu hockey) friends in town visiting on business and the guy's wife and kid flew in to join him for the weekend.  so to be good friends, we took them out to a rockies game.  their little girl is 14 months old (not a good age for a baseball game) and wasn't having it.  sooo they lasted about 30 minutes/1 inning before heading out.  

honey is not a fan of baseball so when our friends left i was a little worried how he would make it through the game.  as soon as they left i was 95% expecting honey to turn to me and say "alright, ready to go?!"  but luckily he didn't.  we walked around for an inning or two (see above pictures!) and then headed back to our seats to watch the mets score FIVE runs.  it was looking bleak... until the rockies scored 11 runs in a single inning!  we were loving it.  although i happened to be on the phone with my sister liza at the time and it was a little difficult to hear through all that cheering.  but we were loving it... even honey!  it was seriously so much fun.

 

and then we decided we should be responsible parents and head home.  honey and i had a little fight battle disagreement over who would put baby girl to bed but in the end, i let honey win because baby girl and i are leaving on sunday and he won't get to put her to bed at all next week until saturday.  after my christopher came downstairs from putting baby girl to bed i asked how it was "was she so cute and cuddly?!" to which he responded "i'm so disappointed!  i thought she would be way more cuddly but she was so tired i kept telling her to put her head on my shoulder and she kept just grunting and pointing to her crib."  ha.

she was seriously on one million percent perfect behavior tonight.  like the cutest thing you've ever seen... not one single tantrum or squeak or rebel grunt out of her and she laid so nicely (pictures to come) and just watched the game and clapped at all the right times.  tomorrow when i put up more pictures i'll add the stories about people fawning over baby girl.  one girl even stopped us as we were leaving and begged me for my camera (it was in my hand) so that she could take a family picture for us.  seriously?!  i'm used to people's rubbernecking and adoring comments about baby girl but it's not too often that we have people go so out of their way to make sure they take a family picture for us.  i'm going to be laughing at that one for a while.

kids come with a lot of perks.
