"Go Cards!"

We drove up to Springfield, Missouri on Sunday to watch a Minor League game between the Springfield Cardinals and the Arkansas Travelers. The Travelers got slaughtered, losing 11 to 1. Even though we are not much into sports, we just wanted to take the kids to a big stadium and thought they would enjoy all the sights and sounds of a live sporting event.

They had a good time, but it's hard for young kids to sit down for three hours. All in all, they did great. Their favorite part was meeting the mascot characters dressed in costume. This was my son's first time meeting any character in costume and I'm happy to say he loved it. So now I am really looking forward to our Disney World trip in January because he will love meeting all the characters just like my daughter did when she was his age and we took her for the first time.
