Old Union Night

Each school in Carroll ISD has a special night at Dragon Baseball Stadium.  Tonight, it was all about Old Union.  The students that arrived before the game got to go out on the field to sing the National Anthem.  Reed was thrilled to be included, too.  

We all had a great time cheering on the Dragons and eating lots of junk.  The children were bouncing off the walls, and eventually we told the pack to go down and run around the track beside the stadium.  They had a blast!

Cowboys game

John Chris and I were excited to have a date night for the Cowboys' first home game of the season. We lined up a babysitter and headed to Arlington for an evening of fun. After a delicious Pappadeaux meal, we went to the stadium for a little pre-game fun.

Fortunately we had a parking pass, great seats, and an awesome couple to hang out with. We enjoyed a mini Los Lonely Boys concert while waiting in the beverage line. It was fun to people watch and see all the crazy fans!

Pre-game festivities

We had great seats pretty close to the field, but I still found myself watching those massive screens hanging overhead.

Once again, I hate taking pictures. I am not photogenic, so I always hate photos of myself. I decided to go ahead and add this one to prove I am still alive when I look back at this years from now. :)

John Chris taking it all in - on the mega screen! The Cowboys pulled it off, but it was a game of field goals! Thank goodness for the kicker.

First Rangers game

John Chris and I took Ryland to his first Rangers came tonight. We had great seats behind home plate and the weather was perfect. He was in a silly mood for not having an afternoon nap.
He got so excited that people were yelling, so he decided to yell too.

Awesome seats.

This game was a real lid biter. Not really. The Rangers won 10 to 1. We weren't able to stay for the whole game. When the people who had seats in front of us showed up, Ryland wanted to keep touching their backs and flirting with their girlfriends. After he dumped a whole can of crunchies, it was time to head home.
