The Last Ballgame Watching The Bums

I did get my camera working in time for the baseball game, after banging it on the dashboard of the van. Pretty sad, as this will probably be our last baseball game of the season, this time watching the Beach Bums here in Traverse City. We met Papa at the game and had really good weather. The kids had to explore the playground some, but really watched more of the game than usual...looks like they're growing up a bit! Brian simply enchanted all of the fans around us, and even had one fan get him some ice cream. Must be nice to be super cute. Trevor hurt is ankle on the way to the playground, but the Bums staff took good care of him, and he was up and on it the next day like nothing was wrong. Tough kid. We had a good time, and I can't wait until the next baseball season. Maybe next year I can get them to a Tigers game.

Life's A Beach

Continuing our trip down state, our next stop was Traverse City for a Beach Bums game. We had a fun time, and the kids got to spend some more time with their Papa. The Beach Bums won big, and so did the kids. They were able to play in the park at the stadium, and get some ice cream for dessert. Another fun ballgame, and we look forward to Star Wars night at the Whitecaps this coming weekend.

Bumming Around TC

On our way home from Cadillac last weekend, we took a detour through Traverse City to check out the Beach Bums. We've hit at least one game here since they started playing ball in 2006. The kids have a good time in the park and we just enjoy watching the games together. Trevor was really tired out from camp, but still had a good time.

Not a lot of people, so we were able to move around a bit and the kids enjoyed meeting the mascots and getting ice cream. Our next game will either be in Battle Creek or seeing the Whitecaps in Grand Rapids on Star Wars night. Either way, you know it will be fun for us. I'd like to get Brian to a game, but he's just too busy being 2 right now...

Last Game of the Season

Finishing up our last fun weekend, we hit the Traverse City Beach Bums game. We had a good time, but a long ride home after the game. It was Brian's second baseball game, but the kids spent more time on the playground than they did watching the game. Papa and I had a chance to watch for a bit and had fun. The kids got free baseballs at the gate and got some autographs before the game.

Brian's First Ballgame

What a fun weekend we had, and kicked it off by taking Brian to his first pro baseball game. We watched the Traverse City Beach Bums take on the Southern Illinois Minors. I think Bums got beat in the end, but we had such a good time it didn't matter. We spread out some blankets in the outfield and watched the game from there. This was a lot more comfortable for Brian, and Lily and Trevor enjoyed the playground they had in the ballpark, too. It really is a fan and family oriented place to watch a game. There will be a lot more game in the future for the 'Four Amigos'.
