Go Twins!

We spent our Sunday afternoon at the Twins game! Thank you Heidi for getting us the tickets and the awesome parking right on the dome grounds. We went early so we could enjoy some of the pregame activities on the plaza. Colton loved the giant jumper, I am surprised he got out of it as willing as he did. Then we got some lunch - corn on the cob, giant turkey leg and lemonade slushy. Yummy! Then we headed inside to find our seats along the 3rd baseline and of course buy Colton some souvenirs (Frankie just can't say "NO" to his son). We had a blast watching the game even though our Twinkies didn't play too well today. Colton loved the game but I will say I think he enjoyed the vendors who walked up and down the row selling food even more. After eating some Fruit Snacks, Cinnamon Graham Crackers and raisins from my purse we had to buy some Cracker Jacks from the first vendor. Of course he really didn't want these when the next guy came buy selling dome dogs (which of course you have to have when you go the Dome). After eating the entire bun and about 5 bites of the dog I figured he was full... but no wait here comes the snow cone guy! Yes we got one of these too and Colton ate the entire thing! I think he was finally full and ready for a nap. We left at the top of the 8th inning (we were losing by 6 when we left and things only got worse) and by the time we hit the highway Colton was out cold! All in all it was a great afternoon, Thanks again Heidi!!

  3. So FUN! I think that it's so funny that Frankie the big tough guy is such a softie on the inside.

  4. He is a total softy especially when it comes to his son (and Colton knows that totally plays it against him)!!
