Once we arrived, the boys caught up with the green lantern girl. She was handing out club memberships, which we had thought about, but couldn't commit to the distance.
Once we secured the tickets and entered, the boys were given Super Hero themed lunch boxes. They were ready to find some Super Herores. Immediately after walking in, we found a huge group and we were able to wait in a short line and get a great picture with EVERYONE.
We arrive early enough for warm ups and the National Anthem. It's so nice to see that the boys respect the need to be quiet and take their hats off. Last year, this would have required a lot of shushing.
After the game started, the boys spotted Rip Cord for some pictures.
After a couple of innings, there was a hot dog race and the boys were VERY interested in seeing who was going to win. We each had something to root for. Connor usually picks ketchup. Not as a surprise, Iron Man won.
After hot dogs, the boys were able to stroll around the bowl and found willing Super Heroes to pose for pictures.
We would get pictures with Super Heroes and encourage the boys, more Jackson than Connor, to return to their seats and watch the game. The boys knew that there was a section to play games but didn't ask. They play great music and Ferrous and Rip Cord are consistently walking around to provide distraction.
And, when somebody walks by, its super easy to be able to walk down and get a picture or a high five.
It is ALWAYS a fun night in Aberdeen and Ferrous does not disappoint. Ferrous has learned a lot of tricks from the Oriole. It is so nice to watch the boys enjoy our nation's pastime and if a bird named Ferrous lets them do that, we will take it. Also, it was a kids runs the bases event, which was so much fun.
