Blue Rockin' It

This weekend, our neighbor gave us some free tickets to see the Wilmington Blue Rocks play ball!

We jumped on that like a family that loves to sit in 50 degree weather with a little drizzle.

You could say we were hard core and desperate for something fun to do that was different!

Anyways!  We showed up at 4:15 for a 6:05 game.  We were THAT excited OR really poor planners at our day and did not have enough time to do something different.

SO - we explored the Wilmington Water Front, which as the parking attendant so positively endorsed with a shrug of his shoulders and said, "It's a waterfront."

Yes, he was correct.  But we were almost 2 hours early for the game, so we enjoyed their mini waterfront with 3 restaurants on it.

Then, we waited to get let in by the gates.

Once inside, it was the most lucrative ball park experience we have had to date.  For $2, we got a Blue Rocks backpack, a kids club hat for Michael, and THREE stadium plush seats.

AWwwww Yeaaaahhh....

The Blue Rocks Kids Club hat was already awesome - Michael wanted it.  But then when we turned it around, it said, "TEXAS ROADHOUSE" on the back.

DOUBLE Awwwww.....yeahhhhhhh....

So we sat in the very very cold weather and ate chicken strips and hotdogs. I took Michael over to the bouncy houses where we spent $12 on bouncing time and this cool wiffle bat ball thingy that MIchael REALLY loved.

After the 3rd inning and some drizzle with a 70% chance of rain in the forecast, we left and called it a successful day!
