We had a busy day on Saturday.
Nate went to soccer for the first time. Cindy took him, in part because I was sick. Lily didn't go because she was misbehaving. She was acting up. She was threatened. Then she tested us. It's tough keeping your kid from doing fun stuff, but it was definitely the right thing to do.
Then we all packed up and went to the Zoo for Cindy's work picnic. We had lunch, then had about an hour to walk the zoo. Making the most of it, we saw some type of Monkey (Nate yelled 'doggy') and Lions and Tigers (Nate yelled 'tiger') and Rhino butts and Peacocks (Nate yelled 'an-mul') and Giraffe's and more....and then we high-tailed it for the exit.
Our next stop was Comerica Park, for a game between the Detroit Tigers and the Minnesota Twins. This was the first Tiger's game for both Lily and Nate, and if they watched the game they would have seen the hottest team in the league win an exciting game with the last swing of the bat. We didn't watch much of the game.
I didn't expect Nate to follow the game, but figured the crowd would mesmerize him for a couple innings. We didn't even get a couple minutes. I think we'd have had an easier time bringing a cat to the game, because he had no interest in staying still. He's in the Terrible Two's, so it's kind of expected.
We did the ferris wheel and walked the stadium (with Nate in the stroller). We missed all but one run (Minnesota's sacrifice fly to tie it up). Cindy and Lily were just exiting the carousel when the crowd roared. We saw glimpses on a monitor of Brandon Inge's game winning walk-off homer in the bottom of the ninth.
It was a great day.
