Annie's First Twins Game

Last weekend, Ben's parents offered us their tickets to the Twins game on Wednesday against the Red Sox, since it was on a weekday and they couldn't go. We decided to tempt fate and bring Annie... even though there was a chance of rain, and we knew she probably wouldn't sleep there. It wasn't the best idea we've ever had, but it did go okay :)

Thanks to neighbor baby Mia for letting Annie borrow her Twins t-shirt!


All ready to go! You can see her excitement.

We parked pretty far away - it was almost a mile, so we had a long walk, where we hoped Annie would continue the nap that she had started in the carseat. No dice! We probably should have brought the Ergo to put her in, but that's always hit or miss with her, so we didn't want to have to deal with it if she wouldn't consent to being in there. We went with Becca and Scott, so as soon as we met them, Becca took over Annie duty - nice :)

Walking into Target Field!


We were WAY up high, but the view was awesome!

For the majority of the first inning, I was going back and forth from our seats to deliver food and beer to Ben - they didn't have a multiple cup holder thingie, so I went up and down 4 times... lots of exercise for me :) During this time, Becca was walking Annie around on the concourse because she didn't seem too happy when people were sitting.

Get me OUT OF HERE!!!




This was about the happiest Annie was the whole game :) (not very)


Becca fed Ben his beer, while Ben fed Annie her bottle :)


"I'm so pissed at you for bringing me here!!"


This will be featured prominently on her high school graduation poster :)

After the bottle, Ben walked Annie around the concourse for awhile... she was pretty much freaking out for awhile, and RIGHT as we were going to just bail, she passed out.

You can see the stress radiating from Ben


A bottle in one pocket, burp cloth in the other :)

She snoozed for about 30 minutes, and then we decided that was our cue to leave - we made it 6 innings, so I consider this outing a success :) We will NOT be bringing Annie back to Target Field for quite some time! Maybe, if she's a good girl, we will come back right before her 2nd birthday so we don't have to buy her a ticket :)

For the mile walk back to the car, I held Annie on her side while she gave my arm a hickey from sucking on it so hard - such trauma we put that girl through!!

Our shadows as the sun came back out




I love these shoes :)
