Wisconsin Visit: Brewers Game

On Wednesday we went to watch some baseball at Miller Park.  The Milwaukee Brewers were hosting the Houston Astros.  We had a great time!  It was the perfect weather for a baseball game, and we had excellent seats in the second level behind home plate.  Evan was super excited to walk himself to the stadium, clutching his ticket the whole way. 

Evan, Mike, and Grampa Arnie took some guys' time and strolled around the concourse, checking out the various sights, seeking out good snacks, and people watching. 

One of the most fun parts of pre-game was the Kid Zone.  Most of the games were for older kids, but this one was perfect for Evan too.  The point was to run the distance from home plate to first base as fast as possible, and see if you could beat the time of one of the fastest Brewers.  While some of the bigger kids were faster, Evan was arguably the cutest one running!  He took it very seriously and didn't need any prompting. He knew instinctively what to do, from running fast to making sure to touch the base.  With a little practice, he could soon be as fast as the players!

There was lots to see inside the stadium, including a big glove. We all sat in it for a quick photo op before it was time to get hot dogs (with Secret Stadium Sauce!), nachos, and drinks. 

After all that fun (and a big hot dog), Evan tried mightily to watch the game, but he just couldn't make it.  He finally succumbed to dreamland halfway through the game, snuggled happily in daddy's arms.  He missed the end of the game, but that's ok because unfortunately the Brewers lost.  It was still a great day!
