Patrick and Will had their first "guys night" tonight - Star Wars night at the Bowie Baysox stadium. They're the AA affiliate for the Baltimore Orioles. Patrick and Will threw on their best Star Wars shirts, gave Mom a smile, and promised to be on their best behavior at the stadium.
Minor league baseball is AWESOME. Star Wars is AWESOME. Together, life is good. Fans came in costume, the food, beer and overall atmosphere was great, and the quality of ball was...well...AA.
Will wanted so badly to see R2D2, but he got so scared when we got a chance to go say hi. Will whispered hi from a distance and he refused to let me put him down. He eventually patted him on his dome and his operator gave Will a little raspberry tweet and head spin. Will was in heaven, and still holding on to me for dear life...
The stadium is really nice and the atmosphere in general was really fan- and family-oriented. I'm guessing we'll be bringing the clan here instead of the big leagues once we need to start buying seats for the girls.
Will thought he was such a big boy putting his cup in the cup holder like Daddy. He was really tickled.
