Royals game...sort of...

Our big event for today was supposed to be a Royals game. We like to arrive around the third inning because Lily can only sit still for so long, but after dinner we were running late, so we actually arrived during the seventh inning! This was good and bad for several reasons...

Good: Because we were so late, we didn't have to pay the $9 parking fee...and we were able to park in Season Ticket Holder parking--right up by the Kauffman entrance!

Bad: When we arrived all the ticket counters were closed! So we tried to purchase tickets from the automatic vendor near the gates, but we couldn't find three seats together for less than $25/ticket...with only two innings left in the game it didn't make sense to pay more than $75 for seats!

Good: Oddly, we actually brought a cooler with beverages--we have never done that before! So, we returned to the parking spot to "tailgate". Being so close to the entrance (and because of the new HUGE outfield screen) we were still able to see and hear all the action!

Bad: There were only a few beverages in the cooler...and we didn't take snacks.

Good: It was a beautiful night! Lily loved playing in the back of the Jeep while we watched the game. And we had a perfect view of the Fireworks after the Royals won!

I was worried the whole night would be ruined after we couldn't get seats...but it turned into a great memory for us all!

Now we have an extra girl to get ready before we can leave the house!
