Rockin' with the Rangers and Roughriders!

Last week was full of baseball.  Even though the Cubs season is over, we hit up two games.  First, was the Rangers game on Wednesday night.  Jackson invited Matthew to go with us.  We decided to take the train downtown to meet Jared so that we'd only have one car at the game.

It was their first train ride and they were so excited about it.

"Whoa! We're higher than those buildings!"

After meeting Dad, we headed over to the Ballpark and made it to our seats in plenty of time.  There was a chance we were going to get rained out.  Thank goodness the rain missed us.  These two would have been very disappointed.

Let's go Rangers!

When the boys weren't eating hot dogs, nachos, cotton candy or cracker jacks, they had their gloves on.  Ready to catch those fly balls!

Our seats were underneath the overhang, so we had TVs, too.  Bonus!  These superfans read every batter's stats. Their enthusiasm was so cute.

It was a really fun night with my oldest.  And the Rangers had a great game. 
We beat the Athletics 9 - 4 and played really well.  The perfect night all around.

Two nights later we were at the Frisco Roughriders game with Wylie Baseball.  Jackson even got one of their pitchers to sign his glove.  Maybe #45 will make it big one day!

Cole, Matthew, Jackson, Caden and Garrison had plenty of time to horse around before they went down on the field.

Another great night for baseball.

They got to go down on the field with Coach Brian and see the first pitch up close.

Then they made their way back up to our seats where Blaise and Cole Odom joined them.

Hands down, we had the rowdiest row in the entire ballpark.  They cheered, danced and even made it up on the jumbotron doing the YMCA!

Jared and I enjoyed spending time with all the other parents.  He's such a cute date, don't ya think?

It was close, but the Roughriders pulled off a win.  The final score was 6 - 5. 

We ended the night by enjoying the fireworks show.  A very cool week, especially for Jackson, who is possibly baseball's number one fan!
