First Royals Game!

Today we brought Christopher to his very first Royals game! We went to the game with the Eakin family and boy did we luck out with the weather. It was the first truly beautiful spring day we have had this season. The game was lots of fun and Chris lasted through the 9th! We got to the game a little early so we "tailgated," literally sitting on the tailgate of our car. Next time we will bring snacks and things to do for sure. Here are my boys at our impromptu tailgate:

We met Tristan and his family outside the gates and the boys were ready for some baseball...

Even though we were in the upper section, our seats were in the second row so we had a great view of the entire field:

Chris asked lots of questions about what was going on and really got into the clapping and cheering going on. Here he is contemplating a pitching move...

He also was checking the value of his first pack of baseball cards throughout the game, just like his daddy:

The boys really had a great time watching the Royals beat the Indians, 9 to 0! And after the game we went to a local restaurant called The Blue Moose where kids eat free when the Royals win. Even better! And we didn't even know it--a nice surprise!

This was a very fun weekend for everyone in the Woglom family. In addition to the ballgame, Chris went to Luca's 5th birthday party yesterday where everyone had a lot of fun at a Kindermusik themed party...

On Friday night, while Chris had a date night with Grammy, Mommy and Daddy went to a benefit for Operation Breakthrough, an education program I've been volunteering with that serves young children living in poverty in Kansas City. The benefit was so fun, complete with a silent and live auction, performances by the kids and good food and company. We had a great night and got to sit a table away from the mayor of Kansas City and barely five feet away from former Chief's coach, Dick Vermeil and his very large Super Bowl ring. It was a great night for a great cause! And this morning, I ran in my third Trolley Run. It is a four mile race that is perhaps one of my favorites. Although it wasn't my fastest time, it was a great day to run and 95% of the course is a gradual downhill. You can't ask for more! It was a busy and fun weekend and we all felt very much a part of the Kansas City community.
