Today we experienced yet another first, as we ventured to Chicago to take in a Cubs game at Wrigley Field. We actually went to the game compliments of the Atlanta Braves (the opponents) and Daddy's new job, we just left out the simple fact when asking for the tickets that we'd be using them to cheer on the Cubs....Oops! We also cheered on the ice cream and peanuts that we thoroughly enjoyed during the game, and the fact that it was Etch-a-Sketch day for all of the kids. Daddy was proud of me after my first trip to the infamous bathroom too. Apparently using the trough is a right of passage for all boys who pass through Wrigley Field, and I succeeded not once, but twice! We spent a good amount of time before the game as well trying to find Lily the perfect hat. She had a very particular one in mind, and luckily we found it! She tried to bring the Cubs some luck by using her hat as a magic rally hat, but it wasn't enough. We were amazed none the less by the scoreboard and loved watching the people change it by hand as the game went on, and with a total of 17 runs being scored there was a lot of action. It was such a different experience from any park we've been to before that we couldn't help but enjoy ourselves even though only 7 of those runs belonged to the Cubs.
