As American as Baseball and... Wendy's?

Last night the three of us, Rod & Betty's family, and Gay all went to a baseball game in Jupiter. The stadium had given the school where Gay and I teach a bunch of free tickets for adults and kids. There were enough extras to take for all of us. The team playing was just a minor league team - the Jupiter Hammerheads. We didn't realize it but it was a double-header so there was one game at 5:05 and then a second one thirty minutes after the first one ended between the same two teams. The second one was definitely more exciting as a LOT more people came for the later one (there was almost no one in the stadium for the first game) and the teams played a lot better. It was also cooler and more pleasant for the second one but the little ones were starting to get tired by then. They also had a fireworks display after the games were over but we (just the 3 of us) left because Kay is so terrified of the noise. We did get to SEE a few of them in the sky as we were leaving and she was okay with that. Because we didn't want to pay $8 for a hot dog, chips, and drink (and that's for one person), Kevin and I stopped by Wendy's in Hobe Sound before we left. We weren't really hungry yet so I put the bag in our diaper bag. (The signs at the stadium say you are not supposed to bring food and drinks in but like I said, just a coke is $3.50!) Kevin just carried our drinks in like he knew exactly what he was doing and they didn't say anything - even when we stopped to give them our tickets. So we watched the game while we ate our Wendy's (Rod and Betty had gone by McDonald's right before they got there.) Because there weren't many people at the first game, we pretty much had our choice of seats so we sat on the first rows right behind home plate. It was a great spot! The home team played pretty horribly the first game but during the second game there were some great plays and they won. Baseball isn't my favorite sport but it is definitely fun to be at a game like that with friends and of course I love all sports. Even the little ones seemed to enjoy it. Kaelyn would clap and cheer when she heard everyone clapping and she was pretty fascinated with watching them play ball too although at the beginning she wanted to "go down there and play with the ball". :) She loved the music and rhythm things they would play over the speakers in between plays. Our cost for the evening was the cost of a bottle of water and a hot dog for Kay-Kay. All in all, it was a great time!
