OPENING DAY

Hello all,

What a great day for a ball game! What a great day to be out with the family! There is just something special about opening day at a Major League stadium. I think it is the feeling that "this could be the year!". It could be the smiles on the kids faces. I think it is the smell of the ballpark food that is TERRIBLE for you, but still tastes great. When we got to the stadium the wind was really blowing hard. The new construction has added a lot for the look and feel of the stadium, but it has not changed the fact that the wind really swirls around inside the seating bowl. This gave me an opportunity to go to the apparel store and get this years Royals sweatshirts. It is a tradition that Jen and I started a few years ago with the kids. We get them something that they want to wear to the game. The year we all got sweatshirts. We looked great in our new duds!

The game was a close one, but the Royals lost to the Yankees. We headed home and talked about the game. Both kids were in great moods. It was just what Jen and I had hoped. We have 20 more games this year. I hope that each game is as fun as this one has been.
