Rangers ALDS Play-Off Game

In the midst of crazy life going on (football, soccer, school, etc), Mommy got two tickets to the Rangers home ALDS play-off game.  We are still major Rangers fans, and Lincoln was so excited.  Daddy was a little miffed that he didn't get the other ticket, but he was traveling for work.  So after a busy day of Sunday School, brunch, soccer practice, and a tennis lesson, Mommy and Lincoln put on our favorite Rangers gear and made the drive to the Ballpark in Arlington.  (Beau wasn't really bothered about it; he was playing with Nana and Pops.  He actually finds sporting events to be a little too loud for his super sensitive ears.)

To complicate matters even more, the Cowboys had an afternoon game that day.  Traffic and parking was so wild, but Mommy scored us a spot that wasn't too expensive and still easy to walk to the Ballpark.  (Mommy isn't EVER in charge of driving to games or figuring out where to park, so this was a major accomplishment!)  We posed by our spot with the Death Star in the background.  Lincoln was so interested in learning that Cowboys Stadium is sometimes called the Death Star, and the conversation lasted for most of our walk.   

We got to our seats in time to see the pre-show and the players introduced.  We were on the first level on the back row (under the awning of the second level).  Play-off games are super fun and have so much more excitement than regular (hot) season games. 

Lincoln was eager to wave his rally towel as much as possible.  He got a little crazy in our seats and waved it on everyone, so he got to stand at the end of our row and wave for a while.   

After the first inning (that wasn't very eventful), we set off to get dinner.  We walked the entire first concourse trying to decide what to buy.  We made a stop in the outfield for a picture. 

Lincoln decided on a little pizza, and Mommy got a grilled hot dog.  That lasted for the third inning, and then we went off in search of a lemon chill.  That was a huge hit!! 

After another inning of not so much exciting baseball, Lincoln requested ice cream in a Rangers hat.  He posed for a picture, and we took our ice cream to go.  He said the walk back to the car was way better because he had ice cream to distract him.   

We cheered, we sang, we waved, and we ate . . . and then we headed home.  The Rangers didn't win that game, but Lincoln and Mommy had a great time doing something out of the ordinary just the two of us.  So much fun with this 6 year old!
