Red vs. White at Fenway Park

We got to go to Fenway Park!!!!!! It was super so much fun! A sad night for Eric b/c the Red Sox won. They were playing the White Sox, so Eric was cheering for their home run hitter Ken Griffey, Jr. one of his favorite baseball players.
It was "Mormon Night" for us. There is someone in one of the Mass. wards that purchases a block of seats as soon as the tickets go on sale and he redistributes them throughout the New England wards so that on this night you sit with a crowd of family friendly mormons instead of drunk sports fans with fowl mouths. It was quite an experience! I have NEVER seen such a crowded stadium-ever! I guess Fenway sells out for every game. But there were people EVERYWHERE!!!!! And the subway rush after the game overheated so many of the trains that we got kicked off ours and had to wait through 4 more trains going out of service in the same spot! It was quite the wait for a train that was runing decently to come by and pick us up! More like let us squish into the doors barely letting them close. But it was a very memorable evening for us. Kallyn asked why the trains and stations weren't as nice as the DC trains. We decided that it's because all the senators and congress members have to depend on the metro in DC so they have to be clean and nice!


Come on Eric! SMILE!!! It's Baseball!!


Much better!

The Andersons joined us at the game too. Eric and I got to enjoy nearly the entire game kid free!!!! And the behaved so well, too!! Thanks Dave and Miranda for humoring the girls!

Sweet Kallyn. Had to get proof she was actually in Fenway Park. The scoreboard behind her says it all!

I brought coloring books, crayons, paper, stickers, and toys for the girls. It didn't even last through the first inning. Dave and Miranda got there and the girls were so excited to sit with them that they forgot they were bored!

Little Bug rocking out the innings!

Our "Harry Potter" family portrait. There was another spectator that offered to take our picture and I forgot to change the settings back from taking Allisons video clip. So our family picture together at Fenway looks like a one of the moving photos from the Harry Potter movies.
