Recently Matt has been enjoying quite a few job perks with his new position. He has had several "business dinners", spent a night at the rib cook off in the V.I.P. area, and also been to a few Aces games. The last game he was invited to was a family event, so we were able to tag along. Right through the gates we were able to say hi to Archie. Poor Sadi is still afraid of this guy.
We were chatting with some friends when one of the stadium employee's came over to ask if our kids would like to run out on the field with the players for the National Anthem. Who would say no to that? They gave the kids these jersey's to wear for their run on the field.
It was hard to get any really good pictures with our phones. Chase thought it was so cool that he got to run out with the first baseman since that is his favorite position to play. Sadi was picked to run with the pitcher. Not sure what the conversation was here, but it was so cute to watch how the pitcher took the time to engage with her.
Our seats were set behind third base in a picnic area. There was a buffet dinner set up for us with all kinds of delicious food. The kids enjoyed taking frequent visits to get soda and cookies throughout the game, which gave Matt and I some free time to just enjoy the game and each others company without complaints of boredom or hunger from anyone.
Chase turned out to be the lucky kid of the night catching a foul ball hit by "his" player first baseman, Nick Evans.
It was a beautiful night out with the sunset lighting up the sky like a painting it was hard to leave. However, it was a school night and we had a long drive home so sadly we missed the final pitch of the game.
Chase is determined to get back this season and get his ball signed by his new favorite player.
