Go Cubs Go!

We started our journey with an exiting bus ride.  It was Luke's first time on a city bus ... And he slept through it.  We made it about a block before the kids started asking "are we there yet?"

Got to the stadium and entered.  Kids seems pretty exited with the crowd and the music.  Luke was still asleep.  We were in the park for 5 minutes before Brooke announced she had to use the restroom. As we head up the ramps to our nosebleed seats, we made it about 10 steps until Ryan told me he was "loosing all his energy".  Luckily he had a surge of energy as the music picked up and he danced his way up the rest of the ramps.

Got to our seats and sat down.  The big kids started demanding snacks.  Luke woke up, and clearly was concerned with  with his surroundings.

Dad went to go snacks and the kids made it about an inning until, at the bottom of the second Ryan asked for my cell phone (to play games).  Brooke apparently asked Dad about the same time.

Luke had a bottle and took a nice nap.

Dad went to get more snacks.  It was the 3rd inning.  While he was gone Brooke was asking me how to get to the bus.

Dad came back with snacks and the kids inhaled them.  They then wanted to go home.  It was the bottom of the 4th.

Ryan started wiggling and dancing.  There was no music.  We made a mad dash for the restroom where he proceeded to jump and wiggle and whine with 10 people in front of us.  We made it just in time, got back to our seats and packed up to go.  We made it to the bottom of the 5th inning.

On the was home Luke was awake for the bus, so he had his first alert bus experience.  Dad asked Ryan if he had fun, he said "yes".  Dad asked Ryan if he'd like to go again sometime ... He said "no".

It wasn't the Cubs experience we are used to, but as a first outing with the kids  it went pretty well. And by "pretty well" I mean nobody cried or had a melt down. 

Our expectations are pretty low :)
