Royals Game

After meeting up with some of the Elliott family for breakfast, we headed to Kauffman Stadium to see the Royals take on the Baltimore Orioles.  It was a 1:00 game and just happened to be the hottest day of the year so far in KC. 

I tried to get a good picture of the boys as we were going to our seats, but as you can see I didn’t have very good luck . . .

Miles took this one of me and Jeff.  Luckily I was able to crop out the camera strap.DSCN1588

We had great seat just a few rows back from the Orioles dugout, but they were directly in the sun.  After two LONG innings we moved back a section into the shade.  Grant was determined to catch a foul ball so every time there was a left handed batter at the plate he was up out of his seat.  DSCN1596

He aleo spent quite a bit of time standing in this walkway.  He managed to make friends with a few of the Royals Crew girls and the ushers.  They even gave him some free stuff . . .  DSCN1595He never did catch a foul ball . . . but he caught a Twinkie.  The  only problem is he hates cream so he shared it with his brother.DSCN1597DSCN1598

After each game kids can go down on the field and run around the bases.  Grant, of course, was all about it . . . so I waited in line with him and joined him on the field.  DSCN1602 DSCN1603DSCN1605

This picture was Grant’s idea.  He wanted it to look like he was holding up the big screen.DSCN1608

After the game, which by the way the Royals won 5-4, we drove down to the City Market and enjoyed some cold drinks, AC and a pizza.  Then we decided to spend the rest of the evening relaxing so we grabbed a movie from a Redbox and headed back to our hotel.
