We always be Royal

We've been going to Royals games since we moved to KC. We did go before we moved here too. I remember thinking how amazing the weather was at the first Royals game I attended. It was way back when Jason was interning in Garnett during a summer in college and my Dad drove me up so I could visit him. It was July, and there was a breeze, and we were outside and not sweating at a baseball game. Can I get an 'Amen' from any of my Arkansas friends?

Anyway, but we moved here when I was preggo in the fall and so I have not attended many games without kids. 

All Ready For the Game!

Attending a baseball game with small children is similar to trying to hold on to a fiesty trout you've just pulled out of an icy stream. It's very excited at first...calms down a little, but then it's rearing to go and you finally throw it back in. 2 and under can go about 3 innings. Food is involved. The more food you have, the longer they will sit, although that's not always true. Potty trainers will give you a workout. Be prepared to go at least twice an inning. Cotton candy is great but leads to tummy aches. My kids, however, depend on the fruit snack supply. If you can feed them one fruit snack every 2 innings (bribing), They might sit there for a bit. 

This past weekend my 2 year old and 6 year old made it to the 5th inning!!!!! Do you know how long I've waited to sit until the 5th inning? ....6 years

It took 2 fruit snacks each and $10 (for two bottles of water). On a related note....can you believe it's $5 for a bottle of water at a Royals game? I mean, seriously.

Sitting in the seats

#1 Fun Run Guy

We walked around for 4 more innings and stayed for the Fun Run. On Sunday afternoon games, they let kids down on the field to run the bases after the game. Sluggerrr's club gets to go first and of course we are members! 

The kids had a blast but it wore us all out. Sitting still with small children for 5 innings will do that to you.

With love,
