Mobile Bay Bears Baseball

Sunday afternoon, Papa, Michael, myself, Lorin, Angela, Brooke, Cody and Joseph went down to Mobile to watch the Bay Bears (minor league baseball team). Nana stayed at the camp with Logan and Caleb since we would be late getting in. The kids had a ball!

Smile Brooke!
Ok, this is pretty funny. They have little contest throughout the game between innings. This one was at the bottom on the 3rd inning and they had a cow race! The kids had to line up and once they released the cow so far, they released the kids to chase him to the other side! Cody and Brooke were the only ones that could do it, Joseph was not old enough. Cody took off with the rest of them at the beginning, Brooke was a lot further behind. She was also wearing her flip flops and they wouldn't let her run without shoes. Michael and Lorin had them on the starting side while I waited for them across the field on the other side. The picture above is the Chick-fil-a cow running (I thought it was going to be a real cow - (-:)
Cody is already finished, this shows Brooke coming up at the end in the brown shirt.
You can't see in this picture, but blown up she has her tongue hanging out! She was tired!
We are all winners! Brooke was crying because she said when she went out, she decided she didn't want to do it and when she turned around to go back, the man closed the gate, so she had to run. I told her that she could get some cotton candy if she chased the cow, so we went straight to the concession stand after it was over! They did great and had fun in the end!
Game almost over and Brooke is just taking it all in!
