Indians Game

We couldn't take the time off ...or spend the money...for a real vacation this year. We decided to go to an Indians game, spend the night in a fancy hotel and then go to the Rock and Roll Hall of fame. Caleb didn't want to miss work, but Alex was able to come. Here is our day at the Indians game. I'll write more about all the other fun stuff later. :)



It was kind of sad to see this new sign across the scoreboard. That's always been "Jake's field" to us and I have lots of old pictures of him standing next to the "Jacob's field" sign. It just seemed wrong to see that huge PROGRESSIVE sign. Oh well...It's all about money in the end. I think it's kind of funny that I took this picture when Casey Blake was up to bat and his picture is there....because he was traded to the Dodgers this week. LOL


It was a very sunny day, but as luck would have it our seats were in the shade! We were cool and comfy throughout the entire game. Jacob is just like his 2 big brothers and he loves to watch baseball. His favorite player is Grady Seizmore, but he calls him "Grainy Seizmone". Wouldn't you know that good ole Grainy hit a home run that day?! Jake was thrilled!


We ate all the "usual" baseball foods like hot dogs, nachos , peanuts and cotton candy. I think that we paid as much for food as we did for our tickets! LOL

As much as Jacob loves baseball....there is one thing that simply TERRIFIES him about the game. It's so silly too. He is deathly afraid of the "hot dog racers". They are people dressed up in hot dog costumes and they race during the 7th inning stretch. Here is a picture of "Ketchup" after he won the race and then a picture of Jake watching Ketchup walk through the stands behind us. He talked about it the entire game, "are the hot dog people coming? Where are they now?". It was a relief to finally get that stupid race over with!

It was a pretty fun day. The Indians swept the Rays that day in the 4 game series and the boys got a free baseball mitt. They even had a left handed glove for Jake. It's always a good day when your team wins. GOOOO TRIBE!
