A Family Outing

Some friends of ours graciously offered us tickets to the Ranger Game today. They offered them partly because they know of Ray's love for the Boston Red Sox. We have been wanting to take the kids to a Ranger Game all year, so we jumped at the chance to take them and see the Rangers and Red Sox play. Other than being blazing hot out there, it was a great afternoon to be at the Ballpark in Arlington. Will was sporting his baseball shirt, baseball hat, and glove. He sat perched with his glove in his hand, waiting to catch a ball. The girls thought is was great fun and enjoyed the dot race (Ray's color won while mine was last) and popcorn and peanuts the most. The only problem with the outing was that the Red Sox won 7 - 2. In addition to not liking to be part of cheering for the losing team, the ordeal was made much worse due to the fact that my husband was cheering for the Red Sox. To further annoy me, he had all the kids cheering for the Red Sox. Ray lived in Boston for 2 years and picked up a huge obsession/fascination with the Boston Red Sox. I just made a mental note that maybe the next time we go to a sporting event together, it would be better if he and I were cheering for the same team. I always enjoy a family outing, though, and I'm grateful for the time together!
