Memory Maker: Bees Baseball Game

Well...our first Family baseball game didn't exactly go as planned. I had been so excited to take the family to this for a long time. I had planned to do more sporting events this year and this was our first one. As a bonus, the team was playing at their new, fancy stadium in the Daybreak area (a very nice area) AND it was a drone night, so they were going to be doing a drone show after the game that I thought the kids would really love seeing.

You can see Lucy's excitement haha

Because it was a late night game and our seats were in the shade, I made sure the kids brought jackets (but that's all I told them to bring). When we got there we felt a little bit of a breeze, so I thought that'll be nice in this heat. Unfortunately, the breeze never stopped the whole time. At first it was a little wind, but then it hit, and it hit HARD! 

We got to feeling cold very quickly. Even though we were cold, I was determined to stay and watch the drones. The team wasn't playing the greatest so the kids weren't too excited to watch it, but I told them it'll be worth it in the end. We were pretty miserable. I didn't plan on getting snacks since we ate before we left, but the kids kept asking and I wanted them to enjoy this so I ended up getting some small snacks, but it didn't fully help with the cold. Pierce refused to wear his jacket, I took Larry's and gave mine to the girls to use as a blanket (because they were in short or dresses), so poor Larry was extra freezing. 

We had made it to the 9th inning, which turned out to be the longest inning EVER, the score was SO off and we just wanted them to call it so we could get to the drone show. Then, just as the visiting team finished their turn, they made an announcement that the drones were cancelled because of the wind and we were so upset. We left immediately because we were not staying to see them lose and keep freezing. It was such a bummer, we couldn't feel our toes, we lost the game, and we had to walk forever to get back to our car (or so it felt like).

The good part is, they did announce that they'd offer 50% off new tickets to make up for this, so once I get that email I'll plan to order ones for the next Drone night. Mom said her and Will would like to come with, so that'll be nice. I hope the kids like that one, I'd hate to have them not have fun and not want to go to another game. Maybe next time we'll plan to eat dinner there to make it more exciting for them. Fingers crossed it works out!
