the rogers family life as 3 ...: Go Rangers Go!

On Sunday, Kendall attended her 1st Major League Baseball Game ... the Texas Rangers vs. the LA Angels.

We couldn't have asked for a better 1st experience to the Ballpark in Arlington for my family of 3 (I don't think the ballpark is officially called "the Ballpark in Arlington anymore, but it's what it was named when it was built when I was a kid, so that's what I go with!) ...
the weather was bea-u-ti-ful (sunny in the 70's!) ...
our seats were amazing (row 22 on the 1st baseline!) ...
the Ranger fans sitting next to us were fantastic (my sister, brother-in-law & 2 nephews from Abilene) ...
the game was spectacular, even without our favorite, Josh Hamilton, who was still out with a broken arm (pitching from the #1 rated Rangers' pitcher CJ Wilson, 2 home run hits, complete with fireworks & music from The Natural, and a big WIN) ...
and 3 happy kids for THE ENTIRE GAME ... un.be.liev.able, I know ... but it's true!
(Give Kendall some music to dance to, a reason to cheer & clap (even if no one else deems it worry to cheer or clap about), and water in a water bottle, and she's usually pretty good to go these days ... despite our rather close quarters & having to sit in Daddy's or my lap for 3 hours!)

We arrived the same time as 48,000+ of our newest friends, but we got through security & to our seats in time to still see the team warming-up on the field. I have been to lots of games over the years, and I have NEVER seen the stadium so full ... it was awesome atmosphere & everyone was into the game ... and the entire stadium did the wave! We were so happy we all had such a great experience ... we can't wait to take Kendall to another game!

We took a few pictures of our time together with the Rangers ...

while workin' on those 2 year molars, so it's hands-in-mouth time again
(oh, when will the teething ever end?)

watching the team warm-up on the field

(About warm-ups ... we were watching the players on the field ... stretch, run sprints, just warm-up for the game ... and we keep hearing Kendall saying "oh no! oh no!" ... which she says A LOT, so we were trying to figure out which of the 48,000 people she was watching, do something "wrong" or have something happen to them, that was causing her concern ... she finally said "fall! fall!" "he fall!" and pointed to the players on the field ... who were on the ground, stretching. We finally convinced her that everyone was okay. Our sweet girl ... she is so compassionate & has such a sweet heart ... she is always, so concerned for people!)
