Texas Ranger's baseball

Dave's favorite baseball team in the history of the world, the Texas Rangers, went to the World Series (again) this year! Unfortunately, they lost (again). But, the postseason did provide for a lot of fun for our family!

We took James to an ALDS game against the Rays, and he had so much fun! James got really into the Rangers during the playoffs, which was definitely a memorable time for Dave. I'm not sure if Dave has ever been prouder of our son! James has been known to break into the "Let's go Rangers" cheer in the middle of the grocery store, or in the middle of dinner, or while laying in bed trying to fall asleep. He also requests to watch baseball constantly, and it's hard to get him to go to bed if a game is on in the evening. We had to tell him a few times that the game was over and the Ranger's won when in reality the game was only half over.



We then got to take both kids to an ALCS game against the Tigers. We did not intend to take any kids to this game, but it was rescheduled due to rain, and our babysitter was no longer available. The kids had fun, and behaved fabulously especially considering that the game went into extra innings. The Ranger's won with a walk-off grand slam! What an amazing game, and great family fun!

Dave and I got to go (sans kids) to a World Series game against the Cardinals. We had a lot of fun watching the Rangers win again! Unfortunately, the Rangers couldn't hold on to their lead in St. Louis, and lost the World Series. There's always next year, right?
