Baseball, Clydesdales & Firetrucks

Last night we went to the local minor league baseball park to see the ball game, and before the ball game, there were both Budweiser Clydesdale horses out front for the kids to see and pet, as well as firetrucks out front for the kids to see and get in. Yes, more firetrucks in one day, and yes, Miles was just as excited to see and crawl in the firetrucks for the second and third time in one day! This time Miles was able to wear a fireman's hat and 'drive' the firetruck - which is what he wanted to do all day.


Miles' eyes were huge when he saw those big horses, and he talked all night about petting two big horses! I was proud of my little man for not being afraid of the horses. We later found out that the Clydesdale horses were from NH, the announcement only said NH, but I assume that they were from the Merrimack, NH stables that were across the river from where I grew up. Perhaps we can bring Miles back to visit these horses next time we visit Grandma & Grandpa.

Then of course we went into the ballpark and watched most of the baseball game. We went with some friends, and the kids had more fun playing with each other than watching the game. The kids got a special treat when the team's mascot came to our seats and played with the kids.

All in all it was a very fun night.
