Take me out to the ball game!

Okay, so me and the boys, along with Sam and Ben, came out to Scout Night at the Barons last regular season game of the year. As you can from the picture, Turner even wore his dress Scout shirt. We began the night with stop at one of my favorite places to eat...Zaxby's. I am a pretty predictible eater...just ask Meghan. If it's fried, I eat it. No pickles or mushrooms for me...but deep fry 'em and I am game. So after getting our fill of greasy chicken and fries we headed to the Met. There aren't a lot of Scouts here but I must say it is a great night for a baseball game...and blogging. There is a great breeze blowing and the temp is just right. It's a nice break from the heat! The kids are having fun...but I think I heard the best quote from Sam after about 5 mins into the game. He said 'is this the game? Cause if it is, it sure is boring!' It might be a long game cause they want to stay and watch the fireworks. We'll see if they (or me) can last that long without irritating everyone sitting around us. I must say baseball isn't all that exciting to me either...hence the reason I am sitting here blogging and hoping a foul ball doesn't catch me off guard. This is 3rd baseball game we have come to since Turner has been alive. Is that bad? Do most kids go to more games before they are 8? So as you can probably tell we aren't biggest baseball fans...but every kid needs to check out a few baseball games, right? And there isn't anything much prettier than a freshly manicured baseball diamond. So do these guys use wooden bats or aluminum? I wonder if this guy in front of me put turtle wax on his bald head 'cause it sure is shiny. Okay...back to the game.
