Take me out to the ball game......

...take me out with the crowd. A day for the history books, the Healys ventured out with the whole clan. We took the kids to the Captain's game last night at Classic park in Eastlake, and the kids had a great time. Although, as you can see, Dermot felt the need for a little nap to gear up for gametime!


However, once we got into the park, he couldn't have been happier to be there.


This picture to me is classic. Do you notice anything? Yep, that's right, it only took 17 years, but Ashten has finally overcome her fear of "mascots". It was actually her idea to take Deirdre down to see Skipper. Not only did she pose for a picture, but she gave him a hug and a high 5!



Deirdre spent the first few innings of the game doing nothing but screaming "Go Captains" at the top of her lungs, and dancing like crazy. Although all of that screaming and shaking did help us to win 9 free coupons for Dairy Queen shakes....too bad it was only for the Dairy Queens out near the ball park. We gave them to the family behind us who had also tried to win, but didn't have the benefit of our little Deda.

Even at the ball park, we were not ammune to Jonas Fever. The girls got a "call" from the bros on Ashten's cell phone, and of course, they had to take it.

More than the game though, the kids loved watching the fireworks at the end. While Ash and Al have been to Lakewood Park on the 4th and seen some up close, the little ones have never been closer then Grandma T's porch. They had them synchronized to songs from Star Wars and Superman, and they were in awe.

This one however freaked Allie out a bit, When they lit the US Bank sign, she didn't realize it was part of the display and was like "Mom, that bank sign is on fire overthere!"


All in all, a good time was had by everyone.
