GO DRILLERS!

   Elijah was in absolute heaven last night when we took him see THE DRILLERS -  Tulsa's minor league baseball team.  They've been around forever, their players feeding into the Colorado Rockies farm system.  But, recently they moved the old stadium to downtown and made it a top-notch haven for kids.  Driller stadium has some water slides, a jumpy, a playground, a splash park, not to mention every desirable sweet at a not-as-expensive-as-a-major-league-baseball-game price.  It was a perfect place for our entire family to go on a Monday night.  It wasn't crowded, the sun went down and there was a nice breeze, and the kids were able to roam around in search for the best spot to catch a fly ball.  I even got to sing "O-K-L-A-H-O-M-A where the wind comes sweeping down the plain" during the 7th inning stretch.  It did rattle me a little when I was ready to belt out "Deep in the Heart of Texas." Old habits.
     We all enjoyed it, even Lanie who couldn't seem to sit still for long.  And after 9 innings of waiting, Elijah finally got a fly ball (it dropped in the stands but he was there with his glove the whole time).  He also got to be on the Big Screen doing the burger lift. (weird, right?)  We all tried to get in on the action.  Check out the second pic.  We were lucky our seats were right behind one of the camera guys. It also helped that our section was barely filled. 
      I love my Astros, but our night with the minor leagues couldn't have been any better.  Well, the Drillers could have won, but that's beside the point.      

This is how we sat for about 10 minutes before everyone dispersed to different seats.

All of us trying to get into the limelight.  I'm the one trying to take the picture.

Everyone fought over who got to hold the ball.
