I-Cubs Game

Last Thursday, Dan got some great seats three rows behind the third base (home team) dugout for the Iowa Cubs game. The I-Cubs are the minor league team for the Chicago Cubs. We took both kids. Anna's been to some of the T-Bonz games in KC, but this was Owen's first real baseball game. We were so close that the kids actually watched most of the game AND we never even went to the playground at the ball park (good thing too since Anna can't play on the equipment right now). Anna was a hit with the players. About half way through the game, one of the coaches popped up during the inning and threw a t-shirt to her. Then a couple of innings later, the pitcher, on his way back to the dugout from pitching, threw her his game ball. She was very excited! And, she met the Cubbie Bear (forgive me if I spell his name wrong - I'm new to the Cubs). Owen, of course, was REALLY freaked out by the bear so he didn't get any where close to him. Ps. Grandma Shirley, I paid really close attention to the game in case any foul balls came our way...

Love,
