Last week we decided we wanted to take Addison to a Lugnuts game and see how she did rather than tote her to Comerica Park, spend all the money involved in a Tigers game only to have her unable to sit still. Plus the girl has been obsessed with "going to a baseball game" since we missed out on the Tigers game we had tickets for earlier this year due to crappy weather and a husband that didn't want to go to the game.
Anyhow Thursday night I got out of work a little early and we waited for Tony to get out so that we could head up to Lansing for the game. Addison was pretty excited and did her usual non-stop talking for the entire car ride. (seriously ride in a car with her, it's exhausing.)
When we got there Addison quickly discovered the splash pad/water fountain out front. It was pretty much love at first site and she kept asking to go back to it while we were inside the stadium for the game.
We have to go again if nothing else to let her play in the fountain!
We found a good place to sit that wasn't occupied and allowed for a crazy toddler to run around. We grabbed food, more food, more food and fed our kid ridiculous amounts of sugar. (seriously)
Their Mascot, the Big Lug, is a purple dinosaur. Addison was in Dinosaur heaven...For real she would have went home with him. She wanted to go to him wherever she spotted him throughout the game.
Addison definitely LOVED it, and for an almost 3 year old with more energy (and sugar) than most, she did great. She got a kick out of being able to scream and yell "GO Lugnuts" she must have yelled it a hundred times. Someone does need to work on her quite during the national anthem as a helicopter flew over nearby during the anthem she screamed "helicopter, helicopter, helicopter!" :)
She got a game ball and a foam finger, an entire bag of cotton candy, a ball park hot dog, and some crackerjacks. What else could she want in life?
