Elijah's First Trip to Cincinnati

Every summer Sue and I take a trip to Cincinnati to see the Reds play. This has been a fun tradition for us and I thought it would be neat to take Elijah to his first major league baseball game. He absolutely loved it! We lost the game to the Cubs but it was a close one and it was filled with excitement. Elijah really got into it. It was a sell-out crowd, the fullest I've ever seen. We actually had to buy our $5 dollar tickets for $10 from a scalper. (sp?) I was a little panicked when everyone got in but me. My ticket wouldn't scan for some reason and I thought i was gonna have to chase him down, but they finally let me in. Whew! The weekend was special because it was just Elijah and Aunt Kelley. He was very excited about the special attention and especially that there was no Emmy and Zeke! We both had a great time and I hope it can be a yearly tradition for us!
