Baseball Dolls

School ended for Marina and her classmates yesterday. We celebrated the beginning of summer by going to a baseball game. The Rockies were playing the Dodgers in an afternoon game and we thought it would be a fun day. We invited Ainsley along with us.

The girls both wore purple and black and brought along American Girl dolls dressed in Rockies shirts. We arrived shortly after the game started.

Today was the hottest day of the year so far. Even our seats were scorching. The girls were not happy about that. So we went to get drinks and then the girls had their picture taken with Dinger, the mascot. Once we had those important errands complete, we ventured back to our seats.

Neither girl was particularly interested in the game, so they busied themselves with eating peanuts and stomping the shells into powder. As the day got even hotter, they enjoyed playing with our misting fan. They took turns spraying each other and the fans around us (who really appreciated it!)

The girls entertained themselves nicely and only got restless near the end of the game. So when they cheered the Rockies scored the final out they were more excited that the game was over and we could head home!
