Rangers 6, Toronto 5

So Grace made it through 5 innings today. I wonder if it would have been better to take her to a night game - even with the wonderful breeze today, the sun beating down on you in the stands can really wear you out. She seemed to have a good time, but of course wasn't actually in her seat for much of the game. She accompanied Jim to go purchase the hotdogs, then went with me to go buy her a hat and pom pom, and then went with me again to find the ice cream. And she did have fun looking through her binoculars (see the photo below - she must like looking at things when they are teeny tiny and far far away).

I doubt we'll take her back again until next year. I'll have to get her a new Rangers shirt though. The one Kim got her a year or so ago still fits, but not for much longer (thanks Kim!). But now Grace has a really cool cap that looks just like Granddads that should fit her for the next few years.

Alex did wonderful with Mom & Dad. So much so that I think we may hit them up to watch both kids so we can go out for a nice dinner by ourselves to celebrate my birthday. Ah, time to enjoy the meal, drink a bottle of wine, and not have to rush through it for fear that either the small one will wake up or the big one will just get bored. I don't even care about doing something like a movie too - I just want the leisurely dinner/dessert/coffee like we used to enjoy in the days of disposable income.

I hope you didn't get her a shirt at the game - I've been searching for a perfect birthday gift for her. You know, I'm impressed with five innings. It's hard to sit there, roasting, figdety and a little bored for that long. And I think Gracie did well too!
