Astros Game


On Friday we took Eli to his first baseball game. We met up with Mike and Marci Freeman at Minute Maid Park for a game between the Houston Astros and the Arizona Diamondbacks. I'm afraid the game wasn't too exciting since the Astros were slaughtered (the final score was 12-2), but the atmosphere of the baseball game was still fun, and of course, it's always nice to be with friends.

After the game, they had Friday night fireworks, which were almost as good as the 4th of July. Eli was awestruck by the loud noises and bright lights. Truly, the noise was probably too loud (we tried covering his ears, but he didn't like it). Obviously we kept him up past his bedtime. Still, I think he had a good time. After all, he just loves going out and being with people.
