First Flying Squirrels game

Baseball is back in Richmond, folks! After running the Braves out of town and a one year hiatus, Richmond now has a new AA baseball team - the Richmond Flying Squirrels, which is an affiliate of the San Francisco Giants. Travis & I have been very excited to have baseball back so close to our house (the team plays near downtown, which is about 15 minutes from us) and we were so ready to take Tyler to his first game. We enrolled him in the Flying Squirrels Kids Club, which gets him a free ticket to every Sunday home game for the season. We took advantage of that this past Sunday, with a friend of his from school, Lee, and his parents.

Tyler has been outfitted in Squirrels gear since the team mascot was announced, thanks to Gramme and Granddad Snead. He has two t-shirts and a hat. (And now Mommy has a hat too.) He loves wearing his gear, so as you can imagine, he was quite excited to see everyone else in their Squirrels shirts and hats, and was excited when Lee got a shirt that matched his. The adults were all taking bets to see how long the boys would last, and believe it or not, they made it to the end of the 7th inning stretch! I think that they would have made it to the end of the game, but the adults were all ready to go, as it was a very hot and humid day. All in all, we had a great time, and can't wait for the next Sunday home game!!! Go Squirrels!
