Angie and Mike's Blog

On Friday, we made the trek to Kansas City to take in a Royals game with The Swearingens. We snapped this self-portrait in the left field stands. Renovations to Kauffman Stadium now allow fans to walk completely behind the outfield fountains. Unfortunately, the new stadium still houses the same ol' lousy Royals.


Maddie is an official Royals fan.


You'd never know the stadium was built in the early 70s. It's slated to host the All-Star Game in 2012. The Royals will probably have one league-mandated representative.


We got to our seats and I started snapping some photos. Angie didn't like her appearance so she grabbed my 17-35 and used the front element as a mirror. $1500 well spent, I suppose, but a bit bulky in her purse.


And Maddie made good use of the camera strap, too. Since we didn't have any chew toys with us she chewed on the strap.


Emily holds Cayden as Brian watches the game. A pitchers' dual for seven innings, the Royals blew their one-run lead in the eighth.


So as we lost interest in the game, Brian and Cayden made faces at each other.


Mommy and Maddie.


Maddie loves baseball!


She even tried to do "the wave."


Before the end of the game, we made our way out to the Kids' Zone where Maddie took her first carousel ride.


And it made her sweepy tired!


It was a buck night with post-game fireworks.


We probably would have had a better view from our hotel across the street.
