The night before Atticus' birthday, we took him to his first Texas Aggie baseball game at Blue Bell Park in Olsen Field vs. Texas State. We were actually meeting a friend there as well and we had great seats loaned to us by the Cummings family. Grace stayed at the house with GG. So, we got to the game, ate some popcorn and watched about 4 innings before Atticus got restless. But, before he got restless, he would cheer for the Aggies and yell "go aggies!" So, he and I went to the playground on the side of the field to play, while Vic headed up to see our friend, Lloyd, at his seats. Atticus played and played at the playground and then we headed back to find Vic. Unable to find him, and Atticus unable to stay seated, we started walking around behind the stands. It was fun because it is so family friendly there. He found a couple of bugs to follow along the ground and we walked to the grassy area by 3rd base to sit awhile and talk and sing songs, since by that point, he focus on the game. But, he still loved watching and being in the ballpark. We even saw Lillie Dunham, a member of our church who is in her 90's and still comes to every Aggie baseball game. Jim, her son, had brought her. We couldn't really find Vic, so we just kept playing and walking around and watching the game, just he and I, until the game was over. He was really cute in his little Aggie outfit and ball cap. And he had the best time. We even saw a bunch of baseball scouts (I guess professional) seated behind the stands clocking the pitchers. I learned that's who they were from someone who sat near us. It was a beautiful, cool, fun evening! And the Aggies won 9-2! Here's to many more Aggie baseball games in out future and maybe even a little t-ball player in a couple of years!
