First Cardinals Game

Who says dreams don't come true?

One of mine became a reality on July 2, 2010. I took my very own son to a St. Louis Cardinals baseball game. He won't remember it, but I always will. It will be great to share games in the future when he can actually talk baseball with his old man. Until then I am more than happy to just share the game I love with Braden whether it means chasing him around the stadium or actually sitting in the seats.

Here is a picture story of our family trip to the ballgame.


Braden is dressed and ready.


On the way to the park we saw the parachuters.


At the stadium we got a souvenir giveaway.


Then we found our seats and took a family photo.


After that we had to get a hot dog. It's un-American to not eat a hot dog at the ballgame.


With full bellies it was time to catch a little bit of the game.


We saw Daddy's Favorite Albert Pujols...


...and Mommy's favorite Yadier Molina seen here catching in this great action shot taken by Arica. I think I should send this in to Sports Illustrated or something.


Then Braden had a Coke.


He likes Coke.


Then Braden watched some more of the game with his beloved Coke.


As the night was winding down we took a lot of pictures to commemorate the occasion. Here is one.


Unfortunately the game ended and we had to go home. But We'll be back.

Looks like you guys had a great time! I'm impressed that he wears a hat...I can't get Ethan to leave his on long enough for me to snap a picture.

LOVE that last one! I'm glad you had such a good time. And you're right; it's totally un-American to not eat a hot dog at a baseball game.

Great photos! Love all the red gear!

Looking forward to taking my little boy (almost 5mo now) to his first game.

Sweet, that is awesome. I took my son to his first game (AAA, however) a few weeks ago, it was a lot of fun.

That's good stuff right there. I've been planning on taking my daughter to a minor league game here, but haven't had the chance too.

I think she'll enjoy the mid inning fun as well.
