This is what Anna shouts intermittently at all of the Chukars games. She could care less about what is going on on the field, but every once and a while she will pull herself away from swinging on the rails, crawling under the bench, or bouncing from seat to step and back, to yell "GO CHUKARS!"

Every kid should get to go to a ballgame. I remember to this day all those things you described, PLUS the unmitigated THRILL of having the peanut vendor throw me a bag of peanuts that I got to eat and throw the shells on the ground out at Angels Stadium (before Disney bought them out--tells you how old I am).

Fun stuff!!!
You make it sound so good! I'm sure it's a fun party with your family!! Good job on the pictures...love it and love you...can't wait to see you in a few days!!
P.S. What's a chukar?

Ah, baseball... That looks so fun. I definitely prefer the small town teams to the big professional games, we'll have to join you sometime!
