18. Go to a Cubs game as a family

Hannah: "I can't wait until we get to go to the Cubs game!"
Melissa: "Are you excited that they are playing the Pirates too?"
Hannah: "You mean that we get to go to a Pirates game?"  (to Maddie screaming)  "Maddie, we get to go to a Pirates game!"

My kids have some competition for fanhood from Melissa's family who are life-long Pirates fans, but I think they were won over by their experience cheering the Cubs to victory.

Charlie had a great time.  He had this grin for most of the time there.

This picture makes me smile so much!

Who's excited?

All three kids got a certificate to remember their first trip to Wrigley Field.

Charlie and one of his best buds!

I think Hannah began asking for cotton candy when we pulled out of our driveway.  We went to 8 different concession stands until we finally found one that had it.  Also if you are one to discect every part of the picture (Mom), you can see Charlie in the background crying because Hannah is hogging the cotton candy.

One happy family (at least 83% of us) enjoying a day at the ballpark.

We aren't even on the highway yet and they were out.  I would say that they had fun.

41 goals down!
