GO ASTROS!!!!!!!!

We finally made it to an ASTROS game....of the major league variety, that is, and a great family time was had by all. It was the beginning of our 4th of July vacation series and what a great way to start it off....We met Matt's cousin, Russell, and his family at the stadium and though OUR seats were undesirable (as this was a very last minute idea) Russell's seats (or should I say the seats behind Russell's seats) were just to the left of home plate!!! Score!!! As soon as the coast was clear we headed down! The stadium is just awesome and we parked right across the street! It really was pretty easy for us to all go and enjoy ourselves without it being such an ordeal as it often can be when trying to attend such entertainment. It was especially fun to see the kids get so excited!!! They really had a great time! We all scored a little ASTROS lute thanks to Grandma....we've actually worn our ASTROS caps quite regularly since we got them...especially Berkleigh! I think the actual merchandise is cheaper than the food...The kids wake up every morning and request that their cereal be served in the Astro Cap bowls that came with a mound of ice cream in them that cost a whopping $6.00.....WOW!.....$6.00? You can get a 1/2 gallon of blue bell for $4.89!!! And water? Well, $4.00 for a bottle of water is just ridiculous.....needless to say there wasn't a whole lot of snackin' goin' on at the game or we wouldn't have had any money for the remainder of our vacation! Good grief!!

Anyway, as I said this was the first part of our 4th of July vacation series....I'll send more pics and humor at a later date!
