Portland Seadogs!





We took Laina to her first Portland Seadogs game yesterday and we had a great time. We didn't stay very long. The game started at 1pm which is Laina's nap time so we knew she wouldn't last very long but we went for it anyway.

We've been reading a Sesame Street book lately and in it, Elmo's plays baseball with his new friend Angela. Angela scores a home run and we always say "hooray Angela" when we get to that page. Laina keeps telling us that when she is bigger she wants to play baseball, score a home run and have everyone say "hooray Laina". She's really been into baseball lately and so we decided it was time for a Seadogs game. So we get to the park and we sit down in our seats and Laina looks around and says to Joe and I, "where's Angela". We about cried laughing - that kid is so funny. We love her logic.

Laina enjoyed a "Seadog Biscuit" which is an ice cream sandwich made out of chocolate chip cookies. Who wouldn't love that, right! I think her favorite part of the game was the enormous L.L. Bean boot that adorns the ball park (you can see it in the very back of the picture with Laina and I in the stands). Laina kept telling me "Daddy is in the boot". She also liked the stuffed animal Slugger we picked up for her on the way out of the park.

A fun day was had by all! Glory be...Spring is here!
