Tigers game

Sorry for the delay in posts...I have been trying to post a video of Katie's ballet recital but it's not working...Erica gave me some tips so I will try again later.

But here's our exciting day at a Tigers game! The Holy Family Dads' Club organized a group trip to the game today. About 75 people came, and we all sat together, wearing our HFRS gear. There weren't any of Katie's friends there, but there were a lot of familiar faces.

We started by having an early lunch at Cheli's Chili. The girls got coney dogs, and amazingly didn't get any chili on themselves! Then we got to our seats.

Sundays are Kids' Days, so the girls got a free ride on the carousel. The line for the ferris wheel was crazy long, so we skipped it.

We stopped by to visit Ernie Harwell...

And enjoyed an exciting 8th inning, with a 3-run home run to give the Tigers the lead and the win! Then the girls got to run the bases after the game. Here we are in the tunnel under the stadium...

And walking on the field...

The funniest thing ever happened - Jess got freaked out by the Tigers mascot, Paws, standing at 2nd base to cheer kids on. Katie & Meg didn't realize that she stopped, they kept on running. This left Jess stranded between 1st & 2nd base, too afraid to go to 2nd base, where Paws was standing.

A nice lady took her hand and led Jessi around the field, but with all of our yelling, we didn't get any more pics of Katie or Megan running the bases. We did get Jessi touching home plate, though!

Here they are in front of the dugout.

And here we are leaving the game. They have such neat mosaics and sculptures all around the stadium.

All three girls napped on the drive home, and we vegged for the rest of the evening. We'll all sleep well tonight!
