Cubs In Town

What a week!! Thank goodness it was Spring Break, because I don't think we could have possibly fit in all we did otherwise! It was opening day for the Braves, but in the Eliason house that translated to opening day for the Cubs. We had tickets for all three games this week, with the four of us attending all at different times. Monday found us all in the stands. We were in the shade and the game started at 4PM, so it was perfect. Except for the fact that the Cubs lost.... Eli had a blast, of course. Maddux had a fine time, but she couldn't care less abut the game. She was way more interested in the kids sitting behind us. Or the peanuts. Or D and Uncle Tom. At the end of the game, Lehr took Eli down to the kids' field to hit and run around a few times. From the footage, it appears he had a blast. (Eli has picked up a new 'bat-twirl'...you'll see him do it in the 2nd at-bat. He almost takes 3 or 4 kids out during this time...good thing it was a foam bat!)

Thursday night Lehr and Eli went with a few friends. The four guys had a great time and Eli had many stories to tell me later. They ate hot dogs and cotton candy, and they participated in every kid activity available. Life is good!
