6th Annual Red Sox vs. Rangers Weekend

Every year, we make the drive to Arlington when the Red Sox are in town playing the Rangers. Our first year to go was when Reid was just 6 months old. We've gone each year since then, and our family picture has grown to add 2 more kids in that time! Reid and Blair have come to realize that Red Sox weekend means we get to stay at a hotel and swim in a pool, and they eagerly anticipate getting to ride the red trolley that shuttles us to and from the game. This year, Reid even remembered getting to play in the kid zone on the backside of the field, and for weeks ahead of time, kept telling me to remind him to get money out of his piggy bank before we left so he could have money to play the games. I look forward to when Sloane is old enough to learn these things too and share in their excitement of these simple events.

(Unfortunately, no pictures from the trolley this year. There were too many people to even think about moving. On the way back to the hotel after the game, we squeezed 5 people in one regular two-person bench seat!)

The Fly going for a dip. Even Sloane liked the water. She normally shuns away from anything wet.
Every year we get a picture of Jeremy with the kids while waiting for the trolley to pick us up.

Sloane in her own little jersey! (which Reid wore to his first game)This year's traditional picture: Me, Jer, Sloane, Reid, and Cousin It.

A blast from the past--our 1st game, 2004!

This is what we deal with on a daily basis, people.

This is better.

Daddy and Sloane enjoying the game. Blair playing t-ball in the kid zone. She actually hit it pretty good.
I thought Reid was going to pound a hole in the mat!

Plinko!
