Last Year 2015 2014
The past two years we arrived early for the twins parade on the field. This year we wanted to take the light rail because the kids had really been wanting to ride it. They would see the light rail every time we'd go to my Midwife's house this past year.
We parked down by the Viking's stadium and paid about $5 for parking, then only $.50 for Kyle and I's ticket (5 and under ride free) for the light rail. They loved it. Mary was ecstatic
Thomas at home before we left, decked out in his Twin's gear :-)
We arrived and found our seats. Learning from year's prior, when I bought the tickets I requested to be higher up in the section so that we could sit in the shade. And boy we were happy to have these seats. Everyone was burning hot in the shade and we were super comfy in a shaded little row of 7 seats (having 5 out of the 7) Every time we got up as a family we came back to see people sitting in our spots. Luckily as the ticket holders we could give them the boot, muahahah.
Family photo, there's always one that doesn't want to participate. But at least we got her IN the frame, haha.
Thomas is so cute! First Twin's game at a ripe age of 10 weeks.
The kids were pretty antsy, as kids can be. So we bribed them with popcorn... which we made them wait to the bottom of the 2nd to get. HAHA it was like we were pulling their teeth out making them wait so long.
The twin mom club I'm a part of Multiple Connections, had a couple families meet up to be a part of the singing group for the 7th inning stretch. We were all pushing it to even make it that far, and funny enough we all left after we finished singing. I think this was the longest we'd made it at a twins game anyway, haha. Baseball games are just too long for this age group. But alas we made it, tantrums, skipped naps and all.
We had to wait a LOOOONNNNGGGG half inning standing there before the middle of the 7th. But among other melting down twin families we were right at home. That's what I love about twins day, it's just a shit show everywhere you turn and as twin families there's no judgment HAHAHA.
There we are singing 'Take Me Out to the Ballgame"
It was a fun family day!
