I haven't been to a ball game in a while. It brought back lots of memories of going to Dodger games as a kid. Good times.
Another great thing about minor league baseball is, there are no "nose bleeds". Even the cheap seats are great! Check out our awesome spot right along the first base line.
That photo was taken from my phone. Here's a much better photo of the beautiful field with the mountains in the background and the big blue sky.
The stands weren't quite filled to capacity at our game (like they are in this photo), which was actually quite nice because it meant we could put our feet up on the seats in front of us.
So how did Sara handle her first big sporting event? She loved it! She thought it was fun to watch the pitcher throw the ball. She enjoyed clapping with the audience when the Bees got a hit. She got to show off her groovy dance moves during the between innings music. She enjoyed the tasty dippin' dots ice cream we shared. But most of all, she loved the bee.
We pointed out Bumble (the official name of the Salt Lake Bees mascot) to Sara when we first saw him dancing on top of the first base dugout. After that, every time Sara saw him, she pointed and yelled, "The bee! The bee!" At one point he drove a four-wheeler across the field, and that just about put Sara over the edge. She loves cars. Now she loves Bumble. So what could be more exciting than the bee driving a car?! Nothing I tell you. Absolutely nothing.
It's all Sara could talk about for the rest of the evening. The whole way home all she kept saying was, "The bee! Car! The bee! Car!"
We all had a grand old time, despite not having any peanuts or cracker jacks.
