Brockton Rox Game

For Jay's farewell party from his unit here in MA, they took everyone to an Independent League Baseball game. We had amazing seats right behind home plate a few rows back. Jay had the opportunity to throw out the ceremonial first pitch of the game. The kids were so excited and proud to see their dad out on the baseball field. The kids got to meet a few players and get some baseballs signed. The whole evening was a huge success!

Jessica, Domino, and P-Goat

Jessica is Dominick's "girl-friend" from school. They have become really close this last month or so. She is the one he has to call everyday on the phone and he asks if he can see her everyday. He was so excited that she was coming to the game with us and he was such a gentleman the whole time, it was the cutest thing!

HOME RUN!!!!!

More Baseball........

In our house Baseball is ALWAYS on, even in the off season my husband likes to watch old "classics". Needless to say, my kids have picked up the baseball fever. They will sit in their dads lap and watch an ENTIRE baseball game! They were super excited to see the Yankees play, and Domino has won some tickets to go see the Brockton Rocks (minor league team), and Jay is taking him to see the Red Sox next month! Yes, they are actually going to a Red Sox game, baseball is baseball! So when we had the chance to send Domino to a baseball day camp, we jumped at it! The Weymouth High School baseball team needed to raise money, so they put together a camp for the kids. They learned a lot and had a blast, what a great way to spend a Spring Break day.

The Breakdown, Go Wildcats!

Yankee Game

We Started our little adventure here:

Grand Central Station was AMAZING! The architecture, tile work, 

and overall essence was beautiful. It was a little crazy

trying to figure out what trains or subways we needed,

but everyone was so helpful! 

We made it to the New Yankee Stadium! 

We got there about an hour before the game, so we got some shopping

and tourism in before hand!

Here we are in our Yankee hats at our seats.

Yes, we were way up in the grandstand, but the seats were great!

You can't beat $8 a ticket for a Yankee game! I don't think there is 

such a thing as a "bad" seat at this stadium, we could see everything.

It started to steadily drizzle rain at the start of the game,

we were lucky enough to be under cover. They played and we sat,

 watched, cheered, and slowly froze! Here are the kids about half way

through the game...........

Yep, that's Payton trying her hardest to stay awake! 

Now here is the result of all that hard work.........

Here are a few action shots! Overall it was an amazing experience and one we hope 

to repeat before we move! The kids were cold and my mom was sick,

so we left at the 9th inning, yep I said 9th. The game went into extra innings,

14 total and in the 14th inning the Yankees managed to close the deal and win the game!

GO YANKEE'S!!!

Now here is a short video of Dominick during the game. I think his favorite part 

was all of the music and his ultimate goal was to get noticed and featured on

the Jumbo-Tron.
