the saturday before the 4th of july bill took charlie to his first baseball game – a honkers game (the local rochester team). charlie and bill left for the game around 8:30pm (c usually goes to bed around 8!).
me and charlie before he left (yes – I was pumping).
while at the game charlie and bill munched on some hotdogs. charlie apparently loved learning about the game. he would yell out - strike! ball! you’re out! foul ball! another favorite activity is when the players would pop the ball way up high. he was too involved in the game and hotdog to even look at the camera.
charlie got to meet slider – the honkers’s mascots (don’t you just love the names??). apparently, he loved slider and went to visit him twice. he especially liked when slider picked him up and had him sit on his lap.
before charlie left I told him he might be really bored by the game because it is the same thing inning after inning. according to bill, the honkers were getting killed, but charlie was totally entertained through all of the innings. after the game there were fireworks. everyone went on the field to watch the fireworks that were directly overhead. at this point it was about 10 pm. bill recorded a video of charlie saying how much fun he was having and that if he had to go home he would be sad. it is so sweet. charlie is totally the kid that rallies when there is fun to be had. he LOVED the fireworks and was again stunned and just soaked it all up.

he doesn’t even look tired! it was probably past 10 pm at this point!
after the game charlie was on bill’s shoulders walking to their car and he was just rambling all about the events of the night. the video of him rambling is so precious. bill got home with charlie just before midnight. charlie didn’t even fall asleep on the car ride home! he is such a champ.
