Do you have any seats higher than the nose-bleeds?

Of course when the White Sox are in town, we have to go to at least one game! Since we took the girls to the Sox game while we were in Chicago, Ryan and I thought, why not take them here too! Payton's been asking to see the Sox since we saw them last, so she was looking forward to going again. If only this experience had gone like that one, with numerous family members willing to hold Gracie throughout the game..

Oh, what could have been..

First, Payton did terrific. She was super thrilled to share in the excitement with her Daddy!

However, our little peanut Gracie, not so much! She chucked, yes chucked, the leftovers of a hot dog with ketchup on it, at a couple sitting in front of us. I proceeded to apologize and wipe down this young guy with baby wipes while giving him money for dry cleaning. Thankfully he and his girlfriend were super nice and understanding. Later, Gracie decided to take a piece of a pretzel out of my hand and pelt a teenage girl, sitting in front of us, whom had moved due to Gracie's "cheering" earlier in the game, all whilst arching her back and tapping/kicking the ketchup spotted couple with her foot. By the time the seventh inning stretch rolled around, we stretched our way out of there. I'm sure the Mariner fans who were sitting near our obnoxious White Sox family were very thankful we left.

Prior to us leaving, Ryan received a phone call from his cousin Matt in Illinois, asking us if we were at the Sox game. Ryan said of course and Matt told him that Payton was on TV back in Chicago!

Maybe we have a future Baseball player on our hands!

After we left Safeco, we listened to the rest of the game in the car. The White Sox ended up winning three to one!

Ryan and I aren't sure how soon the four of us will be back to Safeco together. Baseball games might not be Gracie's thing quite yet, but it made for an experience and that's what we were going for, right? Not to actually sit and watch a baseball game!
