Go Cards!


Friday we went to a Cardinals game. We rode the metro. It is so nice because we can get on "the train" on-base and ride it all the way to the stadium exit. It is way easier than driving, and the boys love it. We got there in time for some batting practice too, so Cooper was excited!
He never misses a "charge!" opportunity. He also makes up his own cute cheers. Like this one to the tune of "Let's Go Card-inals, Let's Go!", he said "Let's go bat-ter, don't let the pitch-er, hit you 'til your de-ad!" Needless to say, we get some funny looks at the games. :) It was Cooper's 54th MLB game! We are going Wednesday against his favorite team/player...the Pittsburgh Pirates and Jason Bay! For those of you who don't know, Jason Bay was Andrew's roommate and teammate his freshman year of college, and he now plays for the Pirates. It is fun to go see his games! And fun that he is Cooper's favorite player. That will be our last Cardinals game of the season though, because most of the games are sold out! We'll have to get tickets early next year!


The stadium has a fun kids area for the boys to play.


They also have batting cages, including these cages with the ball on a string so they can hit them over and over. Perfect for Cooper...and Gunner even had a try.


Busch Stadium has a really pretty view of the Gateway Arch.

Thought this was a pretty picture with the moon in the arch.


We ran into "Fredbird" by the championship trophy, and he just grabbed the boys out of Andrew's arms for a picture. Fun! Then he went and sat in Gunner's stroller. Gunner was a little confused! But they both LOVE Fredbird now after the little one-on-one fun!

And, since we're talking sports....GO BYU! Great win against Arizona! Trying to teach Gunner to say "touchdown!", but he still says "homerun!" most the time!
