Just pictures from Indy #1

Well, I've finally transferred all the Indiana pictures from my camera (as well as Dad's) to my computer. There are SOOOOO many good ones!! In fact, there are way to many to combine into one post. I originally began this with the intention of sharing pics from both the Indy Zoo and the Indians game, however, after seeing all the fabulous pictures from the game, I decided to save the zoo for another entry.
It was Kaelan's 1st baseball game, actually, his 1st professional ball game of any kind and we had the BEST time.,.thanks to Grandpa!!! I would have never thought of going to an Indians game but it was one of our favorite parts of the trip. We took a blanket to sit on the lawn and enjoyed $1 hot dogs for dinner (a special on Monday nights). It was fabulous!!! The boys weren't confined to seats (or laps...HOT!!!!!) and Max doesn't like the grass so he happily crawled around on the blanket and played. The game itself was actually pretty boring, that is until we left at the end of the 6th inning. We were behind 3-0, our pitching was horrible, and although the boys were still behaving extremely well for 9:00 on a crazy hot night, it was way past bedtime and we thought we had better quit while we were ahead. Unfortunately, we left just before the Indians scored 4 runs in the 7th inning to win the game. Oh well, many more games (and hopefully wins) to come in our future annual summer trips to Indy. :)

The beginning of the game. I didn't know Dad was taking this picture obviously...sorry Dad! :)

This is hilarious!!!!! Dad got nachos and being that Max likes to eat everybody else's food, he decided to help himself. He saw Mom and Dad dipping their chips into the cheese so of course he followed suit. Here's what happened...

Wearing Grandpa's hat

Not to be outdone by his little brother. I don't think Grandpa got it back the rest of the night. :)

Action shot while reaching for Grandpa's camera

Grandma the tickle-monster

Nothing exciting, I just love this shot of the 3 of us since I'm usually the one taking the picture. Thanks Grandpa!!!! :)

Playing with his souvenier ball

Kaelan got a miniature bat for his souvenier. The same kind Scott and I had when we were kids. He decided he needed some shots of him posing as a baseball player. The kid who never wanted to take a photo is now the one posing whenever possible. He makes me laugh!!!

Call TOPPS, this kid's ready for his own baseball card.

Kaelan decided that it was my turn to pose. I wouldn't have put this in except that he actually took this picture. Even without editting, it was the best photo-job of the night. Just wish it wasn't me in the shot. :)

Laughing at and climbing on Grandpa

Just before we left, the mascot came out on a truck and was "shooting" stuff into the lawn. We rushed down so Kaelan could have a shot at catching a prize. Unfortunately, he never made it to centerfield where we were.

Where did he go?

Time to go home

A shot from across the street. This is such an outstanding stadium!!! And of course, Kaelan is posing. :)

These little guys were in front of the Convention Center across the street. They had to say hello before we left.

Perfect size!!!!
