My wonderful boss gave me 4 tickets, parking passes and all the food & drink included for a Frisco Roughriders game last week. The Roughriders are the minor league baseball team for the Texas Rangers. 
Roger couldn't get off work and since Briana didn't need a ticket, we took Lanita & Jake along for the fun. It was a wet start (an hour and a half rain delay - who knew it would rain so much in July?!) But the kids had a blast and so did Lanita & I. They all loved watching them fold up the cover after the rain stopped and admired the beautiful rainbow that followed. 
Lanita did a great job of explaining strikes, foul balls, balls, outs and innings. She got the seat next to Jake & Brooke and I was on the other side of her, so I missed most of the questions (Briana hasn't started asking that many specific questions about the sport yet - ha!) It was a late start, so we only stayed for 3 innings and even then it was way later than any of them are used to being out and about.

They have entertainment in between each inning for the kids - Duece and Daisy, the prairie dog mascots, were quite entertaining and they also had a princess race and tricycle races. Of course there was cotton candy - a first for Briana and a new t-shirt for both girls. They even picked one out for Daddy. There is even a playground, but it was closed when we were there because of the water.

Yummmm, cotton candy
Each of them posing like baseball players (Brooke's catcher, Jake is the umpire and Briana...well, she's just pretty darn cute whatever she's doing!)
