Baseball!

We took the boys to see Manchester's Minor League Baseball team play on a recent Friday evening. Evan was very excited to go see the "Red Sox" play - every team is the Red Sox to him, so we played along.

Evan was enjoying himself immensely. There was a lot to see and plenty of popcorn to eat. Occasionally his attention would even wander to the game. Whenever there was clapping or cheering of any kind for any reason Evan would get especially excited, he would clap hardily and then yell "SAFE!!" complete with umpire arm gestures. This little display caused waves of laughter from the people sitting around us. The attention of course only encouraged our little umpire, who began randomly calling strikes, line drives, and homeruns "over the Green Monster".

It was a fun evening and just as cool as Fenway as far as Evan was concerned.
