The Game and the Plague

Thursday night was Little Man's very first baseball game. It was the Quad City River Bandits vs. the West Michigan Whitecaps. We think he really enjoyed it. Apparently, being an Iowa native has really influenced his behavior. He brought his buddy Rock along to have more voices to heckle the other team. And every time the away team was up to bat Little Dude did his best to spit on them. We're still working on his distance, but it's the thought that counts, right? Then sometime around the 5th inning Connor decided to strip down and run onto the field like a crazed fan. But then he remembered he doesn't know how to run yet, and it wouldn't be as cool to have his mom out there holding his hands while he terrorized the stadium. In his defense, it was Thirsty Thursday (half-off beer night) so we think he was just doing his best to fit in with the locals.
And then it happened... in the 7th inning a plague of mayflies spread wildly throughout the stadium. It started with the lights and soon the dirty bugs enveloped everything and everyone. It was an event of Biblical proportions. Perhaps the heavens frown upon Thirsty Thursdays.

gosh Aaron you're having too much fun! You can't be in Iowa without a little baseball action--build it and they will come! I'm glad Conner can't run yet.
