I Cubs Game

Derek scored some free tickets to an ICubs game for Friday night. So we packed up the kids and headed to the ballpark hoping to catch a few innings of the game before the kids got restless.

When I told Camden that we were going to the ball game, she insisted she take her pink glove along with her. She was so proud of her glove and held it with pride through the first inning, before she got distracted by cotton candy, hot dogs, ice cream and juice!

I would like to show you a picture of Camden with Cubbie Bear, but unfortunately they weren't near each other for more than a few seconds. Cubbie walked up to Camden from behind. Camden let out a high-pitched shriek and jumped and Cubbie jumped as well. They took off in opposite directions! There was no hope of getting a picture of them together. Cubbie scared Camden, but I think Camden might have scared Cubbie even more!

Camden thought she wanted to go home after the Cubbie incident, but we talked her into staying and she was glad she did. But she kept looking over her shoulder for Cubbie the rest of the game.


The highlight of the game came early when we got a foul ball. We didn't actually catch it, but one of my former coworkers who we happened to see there got it and gave it to Camden. She thought that was pretty cool!

The kids made it through the entire game and Camden really wanted to stay to watch the fireworks after the game. So we stayed through all of it and they were both wide awake. Kade zonked out as soon as we were in the car. By the time we got home, it was 10pm and we had two exhausted kids and the Cubs had a Win!

(Excuse the picture quality. They were all taken with my cell phone, with the exception of the picture of Cubbie which I got from the ICubs page. As previously stated, Cubbie wsn't around long enough to get a picture!)

WOW.. the Cubs? I bet Camden had a ball. She is so darn cute and her expressions are priceless.
