Tigers Game

Last week Friday, we went to the Tigers Game.  We got tickets through the boys' school and some of the proceeds went back to the school.  It was so much fun.  Bill's mom came with us, and it was the very first Tigers game Sam and Nolan had been to. 

We made it through the entire game, which the Tigers won quite handily.  The boys all enjoyed it, but Sam was enthralled.  He never left his seat once.  No bathroom trips, no trips to explore the park, no trips for snacks (although he did almost single-handedly polish off a bag of peanuts Bill bought).  Sam was just soaking everything in.  He asked questions about the game.  He watched the idiotic seagulls flying around.  He noticed the lighting.  He noticed the moths flying in front of the lights.  Bill pointed out some bats (as in, blind flying mammals, not baseball bats), and Sam studied those.  Sam kept saying, "This.  Is.  Awesome!"  Two Tigers hit home runs.  The Chevy fountain in the outfield shoots up water when a home run is hit.  Sam was ecstatic.  Sam's most favorite part was the fireworks display at the end.

As we left, Sam asked when we could come back.  It's too bad Tigers tickets aren't cheaper.  He'd be there every week if he could.
