Clippers Game

Over the summer we once again attempted to take our children to a baseball game.  I got 4 free tickets to see the Clippers play from work so we headed down there on a hot and sticky Wednesday evening.  In hindsight, we never should have attempted to go on such a hot evening, but the days we can go are limited because Pat works in the evenings.  Plus, it was Kids Eat Free night so we figured that it was worth going even if we only stayed a little while.

 

We had great seats courtesy of Kroger which were thankfully in the shade.  Unfortunately we got there a little too early.  The kids managed to finish their food before the game even started and begged for ice cream. Mitch and I trucked halfway around the ball park looking for Dippin Dots.  The ironic part was that there was a Dippin Dots stand literally right outside the entrance to our seats, but I didn’t see it until we got back.  The ice cream kept them quite for a little while and then all Mitch wanted to do was go out and play on the mechanical rides that they had.  He had seen them as we came in and his one track mind did not forget!  So mid-way through the 2^nd inning, I finally gave up trying to get Mitch to sit in his seat and took him out there.  Not even a half hour later, Evelyn and Pat appeared and we ended up just heading home. 

 

It wasn’t really the baseball experience I wanted, but we had fun.  Maybe next year we’ll make it to the 4^th inning!
