Nate's 1st Major League Baseball Game

Tonight we took the kids"out to the ballgame" to see Nate's very first Big League game.  The Arizona Diamondbacks vs. the Atlanta Braves.  Unfortunately the D-Backs lost, but it didn't matter, because we had an unforgettable evening at the ballpark.

We've been looking forward to this day for a long time!

One of the kids favorite things were the food vendors.  Each time the vendors walked by, selling beer, peanuts, cotton candy, etc., the kids would raise their hands up and shout "me!"

This picture was taken at Gracie's very 1st MLB ~ Arizona Diamondbacks game in August 2003.

The D-Backs are special to us.  We've been fans since their first year in Arizona ten years ago.  Donnie and I were lucky enough to be at Game 7 in 2001, when they won the World Series!

Baxter signed Nate's t-ball glove and autographs for the kids.

After the 7th Inning Stretch, I took the kids to the Sandlot Playground.  Imagine our surprise when we discovered our friends the adorable Venezia girls and their Daddy were at the ballpark too!  

The kids were exhausted.  The game was amazing and seeing our friends was the greatest ending to our night.

After the game we took the kids to see our brick in the ballpark courtyard.  The brick was a wedding gift and it was neat to see it for the very first time as a family of four.
