Well, prior to the "my dad, my hero" announcement, Brian and I had scheduled a trip to St Louis for the Phillies/Cardinals series this past week with his parents. Brian, his dad, and Brady took in Tuesday night's game and then all 6 of us went to Wednesday and Thursday's games together. This was before Brady and Brian headed out on Tuesday.
We stayed at the Hilton right across from the ballpark. This was the view from our room.
Blake attended his first Phillies game on Wednesday night. He did OK. Not great, but OK.
We had a lot of help from Grandma and Grandpa entertaining the boys. Thursday was so much easier because all out seats were in one row, so we could coral the boys.
Brady really liked "watching the boys play." Blake liked watching Brady.
Here was the real secret for keeping the kids happy: feed them!
As long as we kept a steady stream of food coming, Blake was happy.
A fun family adventure and a good test run for Philadelphia!
During the day on Wednesday we went to Grant's Farm. Ulysses Grant's family farm and acreage. Some really cool history for the adults and some animal fun for the kids.
We rode a tram to get to the actual petting zoo.
They had some elephants, exotic birds, tortoises, petting zoo animals and some family friendly shows.
The highlight for the kids was feeding the baby goats milk bottles.
Brady loved it!
Blake, not so much!
Exhausting but fun family trip!
