So last Friday after spending the entire day at the Science Center we walked the city streets to the ballpark. We had never been to Pittsburgh before and didn't know what to expect, but I have to say, the part of the city that houses the football stadium and the ballpark is beautiful. It's clean and pretty and we just walked around enjoying the beautiful weather. It had rained all day and just before we left for the ballpark it quit raining and the sun came out.
It was beach towel night at the ballpark and Peyton could not wait to get there and claim hers! We were a little early, so we sat outside to people watch. I know some of you are probably waiting for some funny pictures, but I was good on this trip and only took pictures of Dave and the kids!
PNC Park is beautiful! This is what they call the Riverwalk on the back of the stadium. There are a bunch of food places and souvenir stands that all face the city on the river.
Dave and Pate watched a little batting practice.
Thank you Tyler Falwell for the sweet daddy seats you hooked us up with!!
We were about 12 rows back from 1st base and the view was great!
This picture is for you Kathy! I know he's no Pat Burrell, but Aaron Rowand is an ex-Phillie non-the-less!
Here's the reason that we were excited to be at this game: The Freak! Yes, it's Tim Lincecum, the kid on the video game commercial- the guy whose dad would make him pick up a dollar on his follow through.
We ended up leaving before the game was over and it was a good thing because we listened to the rest of the game on XM on our way up to Buffalo and it lasted for 14 innings! Poor Boy Boy was having a tough enough time staying up as long as he did.
Peyton, on the other hand, got her second wind when it got dark. Again, she was a little giddy. She loves baseball like her mama does and her Mimi and Granddaddy had given her money that was burning a hole in her pocket. She bought this shirt on our way out of the ballpark and was pretty excited about it.
Here's Boy after his exhausting day of FUN! He was asleep in less than 5 minutes once his bottom hit the car seat.
Canada, here we come!
