The Orioles Biggest Fans!

On Monday all of us "kids" went to the mall to do a little shopping, and then that night we headed to Baltimore as a family to go to the Orioles game! The Orioles haven't had a very good season but we were all still pretty excited to go to another game- especially Tyler since he had never been to any baseball game before!

As we were walking into the field we could see the reporters getting ready for the show. Then of course Luke makes a scene and starts shouting, "I LOVE YOUR PROGRAM!" and "YOU'RE MY HERO!" and so on. So they tell us to come around and watch it, which of course several other people had started to gather to do as well. But it was pretty neat to watch them countdown to live TV and direct which camera to look at as they began talking and all, I had never seen that before!
Also, as soon as we walked into the field Luke ran away with Jacob into a room really quick, and came out with this certificate for Jacob! Another thing I never realized they did- they gave Jacob a certificate for his first O's game- Most Valuable Orioles Fan-so cool! And this picture is just adorable :)
Once again Jacob loved watching the baseball game. Poor kid was sooo sweaty though- it was unbelievably humid and muggy that night- even for Maryland. So we got the cheapest seats way up top so that you could feel more of the breeze. Actually we were supposed to sit in the very last row but we moved up to the front of that section since there were hardly any people there at all.




It was so cute- Jacob actually learned to say "charge!" and put his hand up when everyone else did! Even when he got tired and was practically asleep, when he heard the music da da da-da da-da, he knew to throw up his hand and would say "cha"! I was very impressed how quickly he picked it up!
It was so fun watching Tyler get into the game, mostly just since he hadn't been to a game before. But the game actually got pretty fun towards the end since they had a tie and had to go into two extra innings!
These lucky 4 made it to the big screen twice in the running for the crowd's biggest fans- I think they ended in about second place though. But that's ok- screen time was really exciting! Then later Tyler made the screen again and his parents and Erika and I were in the shot too but I was stuffing my face with chips, but I did see it! So in the end, everyone in our group made screen time at least once except Luke and Jacob, and my parents because they went to sit on the very back row for awhile to catch the breeze. Haha, but it made it a way fun night- and oh yea, the Orioles actually won! I think Jacob is good luck ;)
