Running from the Law: Cardinals vs. Cubs

Cardinals vs. Cubs

A few weekends ago, Ryan and I took Baby Mac to his second official Cardinals game (he went to a playoff game last year, but he was really little and the game ended up getting rained out).  This time though, Mac was old enough to enjoy the game and the crowd and the atmosphere (and the food).  He loved all the cheering and clapping!  Plus, the Cards beat the Cubs, so it was extra awesome.  









Yeah, I know...he's wearing a Pujols shirt.  What can I say?  It was a gift to Mac from my cousin Jenny when we found out we were having a boy and even though he's no longer on our team, I love the shirt.  


Even more than the game, Mac loved the golf cart, of course.  



He'd periodically take a break from all the driving to sign "more" Dipping Dots please.


Obligatory family photo opp.  The usher was kind enough to take our photo, while the first 10 rows of people yelled and cheered, trying to get Mac's attention so he'd smile!  It was pretty awesome! 


This kid makes friends where ever he goes.




He even has an entire cheering section! 



Also, yes, it is hard impossible to keep a 15 month old entertained and still during a three hour baseball game.  Just in case you were wondering.  


He did really great though.  We were very impressed.  He'll be invited back.




Go Cardinals!

  1. Awww, these pictures are so great! I'm glad Mac did so well at the game. We took Jackson to a Cardinals/Royals game last year and he hated it! He was terrified everytime the crowd cheered! I ended up having to take him out and let him run around for a majority of the game. Oh well, we'll try again in another year or so. :-)

  5. These pictures are adorable! And Pujols...yuck! :) We really wanted to make a game this season with our little guy before he starts walking so he can't get away from us, but we just didn't make it...but it is definitely a must next year!

  7. love it! he did wonderful! I actually wish we would have been to a day game just because the lighting for pictures would have been better!

    Elyse did wonderful as well...we had seats in the Redbird club so she could roam around in the airconditioned area.

    But Pujols...come on Sara, really?!? ha!

  11. That was a good weekend weather wise for games. We were there Saturday so we saw the Cardinals lose. My brother & SIL have season tickets and have taken my nephew from the time he was little and he's almost 3. They don't take him all the time, but he's really starting to enjoy the games now. I guess when he sees the stadium now he says "my Cardinals". I know my Cub-loving brother is thrilled;)

  12. What a fun family outing! So many cute photos! I've been wanting to take my daughter to a Braves game, but I'm worried she won't sit still for very long. I'm sure it would still be fun though.

  13. As usual awesome photos! I love the picture of Mac in the golf cart and the one of the two of you as well! You can totally tell from the photos which ones were later bc he's more and more wiggly! So cute. Glad to hear he did well at the game!
