Cardinals game

We went to the Cardinals game on June 18th. This was the second time we have taken the kids although Jared and I have gone several times. It was much more pleasant than last year's attempt (with a heat index of 108 and seats in the direct sun). We picked this game purposely because kids got free tickets to the Meramec Caverns and boat ride with their game ticket. We bought the cheap seats and were in the very top row. Being that high helped us feel the very nice breeze blowing through the stadium. Temps were lower and the game was quite enjoyable.






While we were waiting for Jared to buy the tickets, the kids and I were sitting on a bench outside the stadium. We watched a powerade van unload two interns equipped with garbage can sized coolers handing out little sample bottles. We made our way over and were each given a bottle. I led the kids back to the bench to wait for Dad. I guess the four kids and I sipping on our powerade bottles in our baseball gear made quite a sight. Their boss came over and asked if she could take our picture for advertising purposes. Look out, we might be famous some day! (hehehe)

We went to an Astros game when we were in Houston and LOVED it. It was on the top of everyone's favorite things from our vacation. And we got all our tickets for $16. If you brought in a Powerade wrapper (they must help sponsor MLB games), you could get tickets for $1. So, my mom bought a lot of powerades and got us cheap tickets. And the best thing - Minute Maid Stadium was air conditioned! So we really enjoyed our evening - it was the coolest I had been all day!
