The Red Sox came to town this weekend during interleague play to play the San Francisco Giants. We decided it would be the perfect opportunity to take Maile to her first ballgame.

We took the bus to the game, which we actually realized was her first bus ride. She may have liked the bus ride better than the game. We counted and she made 14 new friends on the bus. Basically, whoever sat down next to us, she’d stare at them until they smiled and then she would just start chatting away telling them stories. As I said when I rode the New York subway with Maile, they should pay people to ride the subways with babies – it just makes everyone happier (assuming they aren’t screaming!)

Unfortunately, we didn’t get a ton of great pictures from the actual game, but we had a great time. Maile was fantastic. We did have to move around a bit. I think we spent 2.5 – 3 innings in our actual seats, but then we walked around and visited some friends that were also in attendance. AT&T Park is also great for kids – they have a play area in the outfield and also a Build A Bear Workshop – and yes, we were the sucker parents that bought Maile a baseball bear.

All in all, a great first Red Sox adventure for Maile Girl – including a 4-2 victory for the good guys!
