What better thing to do on a hot, New York August Sunday than take the kids to a Minor League baseball game? Nothing! That's exactly what we did yesterday, along with our new good friends, The Pennebakers, which includes JoJo, Michelle and little Lucy. We threw everyone into a borrowed van (Thanks Brian and Lindsey!) and bolted all the way down to Coney Island. After a little stroll on the Boardwalk, we hit Keyspan Stadium, which is very "Bull Durham", and I mean that in a nice way. The stadium was only about 1/3 full, so it was great for NJ and Lucy to run around and have some fun. We had hot dogs, ice cream, beer, soda and wound up buying both the kids a big, red styrofoam "We're #1" finger. [Plus, NJ got a hat and Cyclones ball, but that's cause he's spoiled rotten.] A good, clean day of fun was had by all and we look forward to going again sometime sooner than later. Here's a very cute video of the kids, hanging out down by right field. [Another blog entry will follow in a day or two with pics!]
