Take Me Out to the Ballgame

Cole took us out to the ballgame,
Took me and the Clone and Red out to the crowd,
Bought peanuts and hot dogs and baseball caps,
We didn't care if we ever came back,
And we screamed, shouted, yelled for the Astros,
And they played one hell of a game,
It was one, two, three strikes and the Rockies were out
At last night's ball game!!!!

Oh yeah. We had a fantastic time. Coca-Cola and the Astros have this promotion, a special deal on 4 tickets to the game, 4 sodas, 4 hot dogs, 2 baseball caps... They call it Family Night... And if we're not quite a family, well... they let us in anyway. LOL Little Bit had other plans on her social calendar, so she elected not to come. The Clone did her usual Greta Garbo routine at first, only coming to humor us, but by the time the game was over, she had screamed herself hoarse. The girls played musical chairs so that everyone got a turn to sit next to Mom at least part of the time, and next to Mr. Cole at least part of the time - or in Red's case, on Mr. Cole's lap. And it was a perfect game for the girls' first real ball game - a three-run homer that put us ahead of the other team, and it just kept going from there... The Wave... clapping the beats of "We Will Rock You" and "Centerfield"...Shouts of "Go 'Stros!!!" High fives all around.. The ladies behind us who tugged on Red's ponytail for luck... Friday Night Fireworks after the game... I could get used to this.
