Norfolk Tides Game

I am not usually a spur of the moment type of person. I enjoy going out and doing different activities, but I like to know what we're doing at least a day ahead of time, so I can plan everything out ~ If we need tickets, I like to have them beforehand so we know where we're sitting, I like to have time to pack up everything Kolton will need, and I like to have time to make sure the house is straight and all the dishes are washed (I have this phobia that something will happen to us while we're out, and someone else will have to go into my house and sort through all my stuff, and I at least want everything to be neat and clean) ~You know what I mean; I like to be prepared! Anyway, Tuesday was NOT one of those times. We were in the middle of grilling steaks for supper, when Tommy said that since he didn't have to get up for work the next morning, we should go out and do something. I agreed wholeheartedly, thinking he wanted to go to Marshall's, or the mall, or if I was really lucky, Wal Mart (he hates going there with me!) But, no, no, he had something else in mind...he wanted to go to a Norfolk Tides game at Harbor Park ~ they're a minor leage baseball team. He loves going to their games, and I didn't want to rain on his parade, so I said that was a great idea...and it was, I just wish he had thought of it a day before so I would be ready. So, since the game started at 7:15, and it was already well after 6:00, we wolfed down our food, I left the dishes (!!!), grabbed the diaper bag and started throwing in anything I thought I would need, and ran out of the house without even stopping to look in the mirror...Needless to say, we had a great time...and I'm starting to figure out that spur of the moment adds some spice to life.

I even remembered to grab my camera...

Kolton was not quite as excited as we were...
I couldn't resist taking a picture of my handsome husband...

The game ended up being really, really crowded. By the time we got there, there was standing room only ~which was ok with us, because Kolton won't sit still for long anyway.

This was the first time Kolton had ever seen fireworks. We thought he was going to be scared, but when they started going off, he looked at me, then looked at Tommy, and starting squealing with laughter. It was so cute!
