Layla attended her very first professional, national league baseball game on Saturday. We had a wonderful time. And to top it off - the Astros beat the Detroit Tigers 7 -1!!! Go 'Stros!!!!
Here was our view of Minute Maid Stadium as we approached for the 6:05 pm game!
I am pretty impressed with this shot below...pretty nice!
(You cannot tell by the look of it, but it was 102 degress out...whew!)
Welcome to Enron Field! Oops, I mean Minute Maid Park. (Old habits die hard.)
And here we are...
We met up with my older sister, Michele, and her husband, Brad, who were in town for the game. They stayed with us on Friday night, and we had a very nice visit, that doesn't happen often. At least not often enough!!!
Layla was not very interested in the ball game when we first arrived...
...she was more interested in the cute teenage couple behind us.
But soon the action picked up and the crowd was going wild!!!
And that is when Layla took notice and started hootin' and hollerin'!
Her favorite part of the game was when the Train would blow his horn. Choo-choo!!!
And luckily that was often. Astros - 7. Detroit - 1.
As we were headed back home...that was our seventh inning stretch...we mad a stop to snap a memorable picture atop the concrete baseballs lining the street.
The hard part was making Layla get OFF of the baseballs. We sat there for 10 minutes.
I was finally able to coerse Layla into dismounting the ball and she was fast asleep for the night about 15 minutes later. What a day?!?
