One of our clients at work offered us his tickets to the Charlotte Knights game, so Lindee & I took June and Clara to see their first Big League baseball game. It may have been Clara’s first baseball game of any kind, although June kept reminding us that she had been to see Adam play T-ball :-). And June herself is, of course, a softball player with one entire season under her belt, but she told me this was her first time seeing The Real Thing. As always, being together made the experience just that much better for them both.
Lindee’s & my plan was that we would just stay until the girls started getting antsy. I was thinking three innings at the most. After seven innings, though, Lindee herself finally asked the girls if they were ready to head out, since she had to work the next day. The girls agreed, and we did, stopping by the team store on our way home. However, when we walked out of the stadium – which itself is brand new this year, and beautiful – the girls saw the new Romare Bearden Park across the street, with the fountains that changed colors. So that gave everyone a second wind, and we headed over to check it out. Also beautiful. It was a good, good night.
