After a great day at church today, our good friend, Charlie Nutter, took us out to the ballgame at ONEOK (one oak, phonetically) field. The Tulsa Drillers are double A baseball. Boy, we love minor league ball!
Cole was checking out the players. We sat in the second row (basically the first row because the people in front of us had a toddler less tolerant than Cole).
Jonathan and Cole went to the gift shop and Jonathan got a hat. They came back and I took Cole over to the shop where he didn't behave completely well (not horrible, but not a chance I could try on shirts or anything) so we went over to the playground that is just really awesome! Then Cole and I got drinks for Charlie (sitting by Jonathan) and us and we got Cole a piece of pizza.
The child ate almost the entire piece of pizza. He had to be hungry...he hadn't really eaten since breakfast (though food had been offered). Charlie is in the background of this pic.
Cole was fascitated with the Drillers' mascot, Hornsby, until he got close. From 20 feet Hornsby was the coolest thing he'd seen, up close he was more than slightly terrifying. Then, we went back to the 20 foot distance and Hornsby became interesting again.
Cole got on the scoreboard twice. The first time was best...right in front of us...but I didn't get a picture. This was the second shot of Cole. You can see his profile and cheek. Such a cutie!
After the pizza Cole was very into watching the game for about an hour. He just sat on our laps and was calm.
Then he had to get moving. He played a bit on the steps next to us. The nice 8 year old girl behind us sat on a step 3 steps up and made sure he didn't go past (just by acknowledging him she would get him to turn around in shyness).
"Hi cute and nice girl!"
Trying to take his hat off.
Clapping (he does this all day)...I don't see anything exciting on the field, but he was very happy!
Us after the game. Jonathan had his tongue stuck out or else it would have been a fantastic picture!
On the way home. He was pretty wiped...
