I will eventually write up everything we did over Memorial Day Weekend (it was jam packed with fun). For now am going to jump to Sunday. It started out simple enough, everyone slept in a little. We had Braum’s for lunch, then spent a few hours visiting various friends and family.
Then we went to see the Texas Rangers play the Oakland A’s. Having no clue what the seating was like we opted for the Upper Reserved section. Only when we were on the 3rd escalator did we realize just how high up our seats really were. It has been documented several times that Nathan has acrophobia. He could not make himself go up that 3rd escalator. Instead he slowly went up the ramp with Greg. To make it worse, we were 3 rows from the very top. I felt really bad. If I had realized how high we were I would have gotten us seats in the Lower Reserved (Home Run) section. Next time, we’ll know.
We missed the 1st inning getting our tickets and finding our seats. Nathan was pretty nervous until the bottom of the 2nd inning when Jason Botts hit his first MLB career home run. As nervous as he was, Nathan couldn’t contain his excitement and stood up to cheer with everyone else.
The more relaxed Nathan felt, the better the game got. We had fun talking about the players and their stats. All of the kids got into doing the wave. Allison liked doing it so much that she would jump up on our laps with her arms ready in the air.
After the game we went to the lower section to take a look at the field and compare it to the Little League size. Nathan, being himself (who else would he be) stated, “Yeah, they look about the same”.
While I’m sorry I didn’t get a chance to see y’all, I’m not exactly sorry I missed going to the ball game. Although, if it had been a choice between sitting in the nosebleed seats at a baseball game and having to move . . . nah, still a wash
