Take Me Out To The Ball Game

Luca and Daddy were lucky boys back in June (I know, it's been awhile...). They were invited by Luca's friend Finn (and Mike's co-worker Peter) to attend a father/son event at Wrigley Field. Finn (bottom row, on left in the blue and red jersey) even got to throw out the first pitch! The boys enjoyed some time on the field before the game, watched batting practicing, and enjoyed the game from a skybox. Jealous?

This wasn't Luca's first ball game (that was Papa's for his birthday at the Sox game)...but the first one that counted (it was the CUBS!)...and the most important!

Uh Luca? I think the game is the other way!

Sitting in a box comes with benefits...including all the food and drink any boy (and dad) can ask for. From what I was told, Luca ate his way through the entire game.

Ice cream,

cotton candy,


and no baseball game is complete without peanuts.

As reported, he also washed it all down with a soda or two (good thing mom wasn't around!)
Poor kid is going to think every ball game is like this!

Not only did he get to eat til his heart was content, he saw a great win, sang "Go Cubs Go", AND got to slide down the fireman's pole at the Waveland Fire Station. Sounds like any boy's dream day.

And from the looks of it, his dream day tired him out for the long drive home (job well done, dad!)

Do you think he's dreaming of being a baseball player or a firefighter when he grows up?
