Keeping Up With The Liberto's: Take me out to the ball game

Sunday, June 7, 2009

On Friday, June 5, 2009 Paul, Melissa and I met up with our bible fellowship class for a night at the Frisco Rough Riders game. This is a minor league baseball team. It's a nice family friendly baseball park. We went last year with Melissa, but she was not even a year old yet and didn't enjoy it as much. This year was a different story. She was ready to cheer for the Rough Riders. She also had some older friends to play with so that help pass the time. One thing Melissa wanted to do was see the "Bear" that is really a praire dog. Melissa spotted the two Mascots and that was all she could talk about. Finally Deuce and Daisey came to see their fans. I didn't know how she would act when they were up close and personal. She ran to them and gave the a BIG HUG. I was shocked to see her do this. She hasn't been around anything like this other than Santa Claus. After the game we stayed for Fire works and once again Melissa enjoyed seeing the sky light up. She clapped and screamed "More". She didn't get to see fireworks last year at 4th of July she was sleeping. So this was another first for her. We had a great time hanging out with our friends and enjoying a nice Texas evening.
