Monday Ethan and I went on a school field trip to the Arkansas Travellers ballgame. Last year when the 2nd graders toured the intermediate school (which houses the 3rd-5th grades) the principal told them he would take them to a ballgame when they were 3rd graders. Ethan has been waiting all year for this! 
Each adult had several children assigned to them. Jonathan (in the yellow shirt), one of Ethan's favorite classmates, got to hang out with us for the day. The boys took full advantage of all the goodies offered at a ball park, hot dogs, cotton candy, lemonade! A couple of real silly boys with real silly faces!
The ball park, Dickey-Stephens Park, is brand new this year. It is very nice, however, all the seats are pretty much in the open - not a bit of shade to be had. That is why you see all those empty seats - everyone is hiding under the roof in the middle section where the food and stores are. It was almost 90 degrees (on May 1st!). The Arkansas Travellers ball team is a farm team for the Texas Rangers. It was fun to spend the day with Ethan and his classmates!
