For father's day we decided to take my dad and Sherry (aka Grandpa and Sissy) to the Rangers game. I had always heard my dad say he wouldn't go to a Ranger game unless he had someone drive him there...meaning he wouldn't have to deal with the crowds. So we thought it would be fun to take them with Jack.
The day we went was a very special day. It was Snow Monkey day at the ballpark. The first 10,000 kids to show up would get a free Snow Monkey. The snow monkey story has to do with Nolan Ryan and how he was ambassador to the Snow Monkeys in Texas. It's a crazy story and Ben's favorite radio station, 1310 The Ticket kind of made it a popular story. If you want to hear all of the details you can so here.
So below is the snow monkey that Jack got. Surprisingly it was super soft. Possibly because it was made by Build-A-Bear.
Ben and Jack ran ahead of the rest of us since we had to get our bags checked....just to make sure they got a snow monkey. Here is Jack holding his.
Jack showing the rest of us his snow monkey. It is now one of the stuffed animals that lives in his bed.
Jack and Grandpa having fun at the game.
Jack and daddy watching the rangers. "Go Rangers!" as Jack likes to say.
One of Jack's favorite thing to do right now is race. So as we were leaving the game he raced Grandpa back to the car. In doing this they would both start out together running, then a little ways down, Grandpa would turn around and Jack would run under his leg. Then they would repeat this process about 20 times till we got to the car.
