Cubs game

A couple of Sundays ago we went to a Cubs game.  It was our first trip to Wrigley Field.

Since the Cubs aren't really doing so well this season, tickets are really cheap right now. Boo for the Cubs but yay for us!

This was our posse (partially hidden by Addilyn's hat).  Our friends Adam and Jessa joined us for the afternoon of fun.

I was amazed at the view from the stands.  I didn't realize that Wrigley was so close to the lake.  It was really fun to see all the sailboats enjoying the lovely weather out on Lake Michigan.

Wrigley Field is in the middle of a rather populated area.  The neighbors take advantage of their proximity by renting out seats on their roofs.  

Sleepy boy.

The game we attended (against the Pittsburgh Pirates) was really long and the stands around us started to clear out.  Elias enjoyed some solitude.

Happy girl!  We all enjoyed the game.  The experience of the ballgame was enough for the kids but the game was even a good one.  We got to see a Grand Slam to take the lead and the game ended with a very nice double play.  We even got to sing the "Go, Cubs, Go" song that they sing at the end of winning games.  What a treat!
