Hate youget there for the end of the 6th inning.
I don't think I could even do a whole baseball game any more- let alone hang out longer for fireworks (fireworks sound better to me than the game). but damn- those first moments walking into the stadium and seeing the green field, crisp uniforms- hearing the sounds of game, hot-dogs and beer always taste better (even though I know outside of the stadium they'd taste like dog-food) too...but then by the 2nd inning, I'm done.
eta: dammit- I started typing all of this being so excited for your kid, and then I remembered how boring baseball is. still excited for you and the kid to share this first moment though...

Much better rates and easier to find accommodations in May. Regardless, that's a LOT of school to miss for a beach trip.A couple days doesn't seem excessive to me.-fish- said:Pulling my kid out of school for two days next week to go to California Adventure before attending a weekend wedding.Officer Pete Malloy said:Aaron Rudnicki said:

But she goes to private school, so I can do whatever the hell I want.
My ex-wife's best friend pulls all three of her kids out of school for almost two full weeks to go to Hawaii as a family every May. School gets out in a little over a month and Spring break is in April. W-T-F-?

forget what I said earlier- you have to get there early to be one of the first 20k just to get that poster.

When a couple of them were in pre-school and one was in first grade, I could totally understand it. But now the oldest is in 5th grade.

My oldest son plays 50 games a year and my younger son plays a regular LL schedule. That is more than enough baseball for me.I love going to baseball games.
And yeah, I recognize a MLB game isn't really comparable to youth baseball, but it is still...baseball.

He's 12. Pretty serious kid, brings his novels with him everywhere he goes, saves up money to buy things he wants like a laptop. Likes to tinker things - take them apart, reassemble them. Decent soccer player and that's really the only sport he enjoys playing. He watches almost none of them. Thinks football is populated by cavemen, though he won our first family fantasy football league this past year despite knowing maybe 1-2 players. Into his music. Set up some sort of server for his buddies to play Minecraft and they all view him as an IT god. When we need a new TV or appliance, we have him research the best deal, price and reviews and then buy it. He thrives on that stuff. Loves planning trips that involved air travel and looking for deals on those. He's not like me at all.
His 10 year old brother is my clone. Good student, but not an over achiever. Was asked to take the tests for TAG, but was politely informed 'not quite there'. Watches ESPN in the morning before school, watches most of the games with me, plays every sport we let him play and then backyard sports of those we don't. Has more friends than the rest of our family combined, gets along with everybody but is a fierce competitor when it comes to sports. He plays on my U12 team and doesn't shy away from contact from kids much bigger. Very thoughtful, well mannered, funny, great with his little sister.
Outside of looking a like, the two of them could not be more different than they are.

I haven't been to a MLB game since probably high school (Cy Young was pitching). Pretty sure I'm not missing anything.

So, 12?
they sound like great kids. I was just curious as to how old he was in regards to staying home alone all day. But loved the insight.

I wrote that post like 8 times, and every time it came out worse than the previous one. I just gave up trying to find a way to say that teacher-man got a word wrong.
