Baseball Game

Bella and I went to a Cedar Rapids Kernels game with my friend Jeff and his son Aiden last Saturday night while Robin and Evie stayed home. It was P&G night at the ballpark so Jeff got free tickets and invited Bella and I out with them. I hadn't been out to a game for a couple of years so it was fun to attend and see some live baseball (sort of). We had some great seats, we were in the second row right behind the visitors dugout. Bella and Aiden sat in their seats and ate some popcorn but were not very interested in the game. We got up with them a few times as food was the only thing that kept them occupied while sitting in our seats. Bella said she wanted a sandwich and we ended up getting a kids hot dog which appears to be a normal size hot dog (just cheaper). Below are a couple of pictures of us in our seats and Bella eating her hot dog.



After about 4 innings of trying to sit at our seats with intermittent breaks we decided to take the kids over to the inflatable bounce house, slide, and obstacle course. The kids did not care much for the bounce house and spent virtually all of their time going through the obstacle course together. Aiden was much better at climbing in the course but would always wait to see if he could help Bella. Here are a few pictures of Bella and Aiden having fun.






We did go back to our seats after missing about 3 innings with the promise we would go back and play which we did less than an inning later. We were then able to go back to our seats and see the last half inning of the ball game where the Kernels lost 8-7. There were fireworks after the game and I thought that it was a good fireworks show but Bella wasn't as impressed. Bella thought they were too loud and didn't seem to care about the way they looked. We took this picture below after the fireworks and after changing into pajamas in the men's room.

We got home around 11:30PM and Bella fell asleep on the way home. It ended up being quite the late evening as Bella vomited all over her bed shortly after midnight. It was a lot of vomit and was quite disgusting (I got to see small pieces of hot dog). As I was taking off her sheets I was trying not to throw up as the stench was so horrible that I could smell it well after being away from her room and her sheets. Bella sat on Robin's lap watching me as I changed the sheets and she vomited again on Robin, this was even more disgusting and if it would have been me that she had puked on it would have almost certainly started a puke-o-rama between me and her. Robin stayed in bed with her where she threw up two more times. I am not sure if we had a bug go through the house as Evie threw up overnight the Tuesday before and I threw up this last Wednesday overnight. Thus far Robin has avoided the plague but if the schedule holds up tonight is her night.
