On Monday night Laney and I went to the Idaho Falls Chukars game. It was AWESOME! We left Mom and Ryan at home and had a night out! First we went to Jack In the Box and got a bite to eat. Then we headed off to the ball park. Laney brought a brand new baseball with him so he could get it signed by the players. He was so excited to see the ball players up close and talk with them.
During the seventh inning stretch Laney was chosen to race the mascot around the bases. He was so excited. The crowd was cheering him on and he was running hard and as fast as he could. Laney won the race. For a prize they gave him a fishing rod! Laney was so excited because now he could give the fishing pole to his little brother. I was so touched that he wasn't thinking of himself, but of his brother who didn't have a fishing pole.
Laney told me that he has always wanted a giant foam finger, so we went to the gift shop and found him one. During the game Laney was standing up cheering for the home team and booing the away team. I was so proud!! There is nothing better than watching a ball game with your big boy! I can't wait for football season!
In the end the Chukars lost 3-5. However, we had a great time! We did learn a valuable lesson....bring a blanket because 60 degrees is freaking cold! Can't wait till football season to get started!

What a fun night out! Way to go Lane! You're a great dad!
ReplyDeleteThat is so sweet of Lane to want to give his fishing pole to Ryan. What happens to us when we grow up? We turn selfish and self-serving. Children teach us so much!
