Go Rangers!

As most everyone who knows us know, the Hendricks family loves sports! And baseball is no exception. And for us, there is nothing better than Texas Ranger baseball!! We had been talking about taking the family to a game all summer. Kason has already been to 2 games this season, one with his friend Jacob and one with Gary Don. But we hadn't been as a family, and Katie has never been to a game. We kept toying with the idea of all going, but never took the plunge just because 4 tickets plus parking plus food is expensive!


But lo and behold, on a Tuesday afternoon Gary Don called me at work and asked me if we wanted to go to the Ranger game that night. His Aunt Diana (she would say she is his favorite aunt, lol!) had 4 tickets plus a parking pass to the Ranger game that night. She wanted to know if we wanted the tickets. OH YES WE DO!!


So not only did we not have to pay for our tickets or parking, we had great seats!!


We got to the Ballpark a little early and had time for a few pictures by the Nolan Ryan statue. Kason also had time to bat at the kid's field behind center field.






Once the game started, we got some food (it was dollar hotdog night!! Hotdog!) and found our seats. Of course, the hotdogs were just the start for Katie Blair. She wanted cotton candy, pizza, peanuts and ice cream. And...um...she got it! :) But what is a Ranger game without food?!?! She takes after me in that respect. :)

We had a great time at the game! The Rangers hit 2 homeruns, after which they shoot fireworks. The kids loved that - especially Katie! She was more into the game than I thought she would be. Although her first love was the food, her second was the Rangers. :) She would shout, "Go Rangers!"


We left after the 7th inning since it was a weeknight and we had to be up early in the morning. But it was a great game and a fun family night! Thank you so much Aunt Nina!




GO RANGERS!!!
