Take me out to the ball game....

Jared scored some pretty sweet tickets to the Diamondbacks game on Tues. We had one extra ticket and of course brought James. We didn't tell him exactly where the seats were because we weren't 100% positive. However, he is ALWAYS excited to go to the games and I was excited to have a date with my boys! Thank you Kristen and Scott for having a slumber party with my girls! He gathered his ball, marker, glove, rattle, and other things that apparently are a necessity for the game. After we picked up our tickets we headed toward our seats. We were escorted down to a little section right next to the dugout. There was only a net between us and the players. Needless to say, James was in HEAVEN. The usher told James to get his ball out and start asking the players for autographs.  Stephen Drew, Justin Upton (Jared's man-crush), Eric Byrnes, and some other players all signed his ball. He even asked Eric Byrnes to sign his jersey which now he refuses to wear!! He would stand there during the innings to get high fives, some of the players gave him gum, Ryan Roberts threw him his sweat band which James thought was gross and equally cool, and we just listened to the players talk (and yawn!).    I think at that point was when James leaned over and said, "How can it only be the 2nd inning and the best day of my life!" 

About every 3 innings they switch out the bases. The usher handed the ACTUAL 3rd base to James and I thought he was going to burst! Top that off with some nachos, cotton candy, and a win (which is rare this season) James will remember that game for the rest of his life!
