GO TWINS!!

The boys

All of us

We had some great seats at the game this year.  They were really close to the field and much easier to access since I am not sure we really sat and watched all that much of the game itself.

The boys were so excited when they saw TC Bear.  Aiden saw him on the field and wanted to go down and say hello.  After our encounter with him at the birthday party, I am pretty sure the boys thought that TC would remember them.

You can't see much from the picture, but Aiden has cotton candy all over his hands and it got worse after this picture.

Liam loved his cotton candy too!

The boys were so intent as they painted their pumpkins.  I am pretty sure Aiden worked on his for nearly 30 minutes.
 
We waited until the final home game of the year, but we made it to our annual Twins baseball game with all three boys.  We have been doing this since Luke and Liam were around 6-8 months old.  Each year we seem to be able to sit a little longer and we are a little more interested in watching the game.  These are baby steps and I really did not expect us to last the entire game this year, but we cheated a little.  We brought our iphones and when things started going downhill a bit, we got treats and then played with the iphones.  We were asking for treats around the second inning before we had even finished lunch, but we somehow waited until the 7th inning.  The boys loved seeing TC Bear and we managed to get a picture with him.  Luke wanted to get choclate ice cream with MM's in a baseball hat for his treat and Liam and Aiden both picked cotton candy (specifying even the color of cotton candy they wanted, of course).  We stayed until the end of the game even though the Twins lost to the Detroit Tigers.  We were hoping to run the bases since it was "Kid Appreciation Day", but walking a pretty long distance to the other side of the stadium and then standing in a fairly long line didn't seem like such a great idea by the end of the game.  The weather was amazing, really one of the best days we have had in Minnesota all year long!  Hoping the Twins have a better year next year!
