One of my favorite things about this past summer was watching Isabella fall in love with baseball...even though T-Ball is currently not her favorite sport (mommy can keep hoping) she loves her Boys in Blue...Omar Infante is her favorite player...which its very difficult to explain to a very adorable 4 year old why he isn't playing....At one of the games we went to this summer he came over and signed her hat! He was super sweet to her when other players were pretending (I let them know they were pretending) they couldn't here us...so Infante it is! Well I never though this would happen but the Royals made it to the Worlds Series this year (two years in a row I might add) and Iz wanted to go...so after searching for tickets and even emailing a video of her crying that she couldn't go...tickets were found....I wish I would've captured the look on her face when I told her Mac found tickets for her...I mean I thought she was going to come out of her skin...so we were going...I wasn't really sure if Isabella would be as into it with as busy as the game was going to be...but she loved it....she screamed for every player and didn't even let a little rain bother her! Even after we had a little spill on the playground (rain and slides don't mix well) we got a souvenir ice pack and kept on cheering on the boys and blue. The best part is they gave her a win...so at 4 Iz can say that she's been to a winning Worlds Series game! It really has been incredible enjoying this ride with her...It is interesting that she knows most of the players numbers and what position they play...I didn't think watching baseball would be her thing but for this year it was....maybe she caught the blue bug like everyone else in KC did but I hope that I can look forward to baseball summers with my girl....if not there is no way I could forget the look on her face this year!
The Parade...WE WON THE SHIP so we get a parade...well we went to a game we had to go to the parade right....right....holy smokes....first off I need to send out a serious thank you to Seanie and Lisa for braving the crazy with us..never would we have survived or would Isabella be able to see anything if she wasn't sitting on his shoulders...LOL so That blue bug I spoke of....they are estimating that there were 800,000 people at this parade and rally outside of union station. Isabella was incredible, we didn't eat anything from 10am until 7pm...minimal complaints....we were crammed in with all the other crazies....minimal complaints....I think my favorite memory from the day is me trying to find a place to park (people got out of their cars and parked on I-35) I kept asking "do you think I can just drive up there" Lisa and Sean weren't sure....so they next place I asked "can I pull in there"....this happened a couple times and I kept being shut down....from the back seat I hear Iz say..."But Seanie we have to pull in somewhere"....my mini me had my back! =) I'm thankful that we went...Iz saw a couple players (they are much harder to recognize out of uniform) and we made memories...if they win again I think we will just watch on TV hahahaha
