Opening Day 2013

Kolby took Beckett to the Rangers first home game of the season, also known as Opening Day.

It was on a Friday afternoon and I had a work conflict and couldn't go, but he didn't let that stop him.  He played hooky from school and loaded up his boy and they spent basically the entire day at the ballpark, among the 50,000+ other fans.  They had an absolute blast!

This probably goes without saying, but Kolby has dreamed and dreamed about the day he'd take his kid to a Rangers game.  It being Opening Day and just the two of them made it even more special.

So much credit goes to Beckett for being such an easy baby.  But Kolby deserves a lot of credit too, I mean what dad dares to take a three month old to a baseball game alone, much less successfully?  This guy:

They seriously had the best time ever.  I think Kolby will always remember it as one of the best days of his life.  He was on CLOUD NINE when they got home, telling me all about their day together.

Here are a few more pictures.  

(I made Kolby pinky swear to take some pictures on his phone while they were there.)

Me seeing my guys off, with plenty of milk and diapers in tow:

 I got that knitted hat for his newborn pictures but it was too big, and it was a little cool outside that day so I figured why not get some use out of it.  Apparently it was a BIG hit with the ladies at the ballpark.

Walking in:

(Side note: I couldn't help but think of this picture when at Beckett's four month check-up they said he was in the 25th percentile for weight but the 90th percentile for height.  That body type sounds familiar....)

Chilling in their seats:

Needing a little pick-me-up:

Rangers win!  Time to head home:

 I had to include this picture of Beckett napping later that evening, smiling from sweet dreams of his awesome day with his daddy:

 He is one lucky kid to have such an incredible dad.
