Every Little Boys Dream

Last week my mom and one of my sisters took the kids to the very last Angels Spring Training game for the season. It's one of the perks of living in AZ. We catch at least one game a season and somehow we managed to wait until the very last game to make it this year. Our husbands were working so it was just us girls, with our little boys. What a treat!

When we got to the game one of the ushers told us to come sit in her section because they didn't expect the park to be full. So we headed down the bleachers to the very front row to watch the teams warm up, take batting practice and eat our lunches. The boys stood at the fence yelling to the players and were so excited to be up close and personal with professionals. Okay, so maybe that was me, but they were still very excited.

As a pitcher from the Indians headed back to the dugout he tossed Dax the ball he had been warming up with. So cool! Dax was so excited but we wanted to make sure his cousin and Wyatt got a ball too. The players were doing some running drills and playing catch and as two players headed in after warm-ups they grab three balls and handed one to each of the boys. What nice guys!!! Even though it's a crummy picture, I love how below you can see the player looking back over his shoulder and smiling at the boys, knowing he just made their day!

We snapped pictures and texted our husbands and they were so envious that they were working and we were sitting in the sun, watching a ball game, and seeing our little boys dreams come true by getting a real true live baseball from a real true live professional baseball player.

I thought for sure that when school rolled around today that Dax would take his two baseballs for show and tell. Nope. He wanted his Night Fury dragon he got from Easter. Go figure!

Well, if for now he doesn't understand the coolness of these baseball, I'm sure he will one day. These babies are going into special cases in their room!
