Tulsa Drillers Night

 Last night we took the boys to their first Tulsa Drillers baseball game.  Owen could have cared less.  Will loved it.  I could have told you those end results the moment we mentioned going to the game.  We decided agains't purchasing actual seats because once we found out there was a park and a splashpad I knew both kids would be running around and wanting to play more than watch the game.  I am so happy we decided to purchase "sitting on the hill" tickets.  Those were $15 for our family as opposed to $40 for actual seats that our butts would have never even been in.  

Will's favorite thing was standing by the back fence with his glove and waiting for home run's to come whizzing by so he could catch them. That never even came close to happening.  By inning 5 he was done waiting and had gone to the park with Owen.  After I snapped his pictures I read the sign he was standing directly beside.  "Please do not stand along railing."  Oops.  For someone who loves to read, I really missed that one!

Owen was pretty much gone before the "National Anthem" even played.  Seriously.  I was standing there with Will, hands over our hearts, and Steven was already off watching Owen in the water park.  Between the water park, the park, watching the game, rolling on the hill, playing catch with random children on the hill, pausing for 5 minutes to eat Dippin' Dots...Owen was worn out at the end!  Here are a few snaps of his evening.



Just a little public service announcement for anyone thinking about going to a game.  1. Children under 3 are free.  You better believe that even though Owen is only 3 for one more month we used that.  We got some looks and some questions about whether or not he was REALLY 3.  People, I would just pay the $5 if I needed to.  He's not 3.  He's just tall.  I will continue to have to say that his whole life I believe.  2. Have them wear a swimsuit with water shoes.  3. Bring a towel (for the kids) and a blanket to sit on for you. 4. If you like beer wait till the 6th inning.  They go on sale for $1 each.  5.  Eat at Fat Guy's right before.  It's just good.  

That's all my useful information.  Enjoy the Drillers (even though they probably will not win because I think Will's 6 year old baseball team is better).
