Leave It To the Beavers: My Day with Wyatt

Recently I entered an e-mail drawing for a chance to to able to purchase tickets to watch the St. Louis Cardinals play the Chicago Cubs. Well I was SUPER excited when I got the e-mail saying I was able to purchase tickets to one of the games of the three game series against the Cubs, but the catch was that I had to purchase tickets to two more game in addition to the Cubs game. So we ended up with Cardinals tickets to three games this season! Well Nathan and I had been talking about selling vs. using the other tickets, and decided that one of us should take Wyatt to a game since we already had the tickets and he's a HUGE fan. So Sunday bright and early Wyatt and I loaded up and headed to St. Louis. Nathan and Amelia had a daddy/daughter day, with some grandma and grandpa time too! Can I stop here and say that I have a wonderful husband who allows me to do fun stuff like this!! At first I felt bad, and sort of selfish because I wanted to take Wyatt, but then I realized that Amelia will be with her DAD, who loves her just as much as I do and is very capable of taking care of her. So back to my story. Wyatt and I loaded up bright and early Sunday morning and head to St. Louis to watch the Cardinals play the Dodgers. We had such a great time! It rained on us the majority of the time on the way up there and Wyatt stressed about not getting to see the game, or it being on a rain delay. I had to continually remind him it was still FOUR hours until game time. It was still raining when we got to the Stadium, but it gave us time to do some shopping, exploring and eating before finding our seats and settling in for the game. The rain cleared up before game time and it was a wonderful day, the weather was PREFECT! The Cardinals ended up winning in the bottom of the 9th, with 2 outs, Matt Holliday hit a walk off single to right field scoring Yadi! It was such as awesome game to see and I'm so glad that Wyatt got to be there with me to enjoy it! He was super excited and talked about it all the way home, the whole 4 hours!! We had a blast!
