Take Me Out to the Ball Game

Collin watched his first, live baseball game this weekend. He got to see The Citadel (my dad's alma mater) play Elon in the Southern Conference Tournament. It turned out to be a great day. Collin was much more immune to the elements than the adults were, but inspite of the sweat and exhausting heat we made it through almost the entire game.
Collin thoroughly enjoyed his hotdog and french fries. He's not 100% sure about boiled peanuts, since he thinks you are supposed to eat the whole thing :) He watched a few minutes of the game at a time, every few plays. he was much more interested in the food. He also was not very interested in having his picture taken, hence just one for this post.
The Citadel was not playing well and we were all roasting. Not to mention our sleepy 2 year old had had enough. So, bottom of the 9th with 2 outs we left. As we exited the stadium the place erupts with cheers. We made a mad dash to the car to find out what happened. Sure enough, with 2 outs an error by Elon's pitcher allows 3 runs, ties the game and sends it to a 10th inning and The Citadel pulls out the win. GO BULLDOGS!!!!
As a Carolina fan I should know NEVER to leave early :)

Duh! Never leave early...

Hey, you need to bring him to some USC games next year (or this summer for regionals) while you're down this way. We have a children's bouncehouse area to keep them entertained. :)

I do believe it may be time to trade in that Citadel shirt for a College of Charleston shirt!!! Go Cougars!!!
