Go River Cats! Grrrowwwwwl!

This year we purchased the River Cats Family Pack which includes tickets to a game (lawn seating), hot dogs, chips, sodas, ice cream bars, AND tickets to the Sacramento Zoo and Fairy Tale Town.

Talk about a steal at $14-a-pop!

We had a great spot on the lawn and only had to wait about 20 minutes or so before the sun went down.

Gabriel loved wiggling around on his soft blanket.
He loves being outdoors!

At this point in the game I was ready for things to wrap up! I'm not a baseball fan-or much of a sports fan in general! I like to think that I appreciate the "experience" more than anything else-as long as the "experience" is, say, fifteen minutes or so!

Yes, sometimes I have the attention span of a gnat!
Is that where my kids get it from?

Iris and Owen weren't down on the grass seating and preferred to sit on Daddy's lap instead.

Thank goodness I had my camera.
Whenever I became antsy I turned the lens on my babies!

Isabella and Ava were so jazzed for the game. They insisted that they wear baseball caps because, as they informed me, "that's what you doooo at a baseball game"!

Well!
Excuse me.
The River Cat himself!

Owen was apprehensive about seeing this fella up close. Throughout the game we would hear the River Cat growl loudly over the speakers when the team would score a run and it always made Owen jump! I had to convince him that the cat wouldn't eat him.

He didn't buy it though and stayed far away!

Nothing like a true ball park dog!

My favorite part of the game was listening to the music clips they play. Ava surprised me by getting up every single time to show off her dance moves in front of everyone! The child has no shame, or fear, and she rocked out like a mad woman!



How do you cap off a perfect night?

With a spectacular firework show!

Go River Cats!

How fun. I have not taken my kids to a Rivercats game yet...maybe next year I will magically turn into one of those nice mommies who do stuff like that.

Good for you!
