Colin at the Cardinals Game

This past Wednesday Colin went the the Cardinals game. It was a day game (rain out from the night before) and the first of a double header. He went with Grandma (Louise), and when he got home he didn't stop smiling for hours!

The game was so hot. (We had tickets to go to the original game, and the heat index was over 100.) The first (Cardinal) home run of the game went into the bullpen.  Louise went over to ask for the ball, but he had already promised the ball to another kid. So she asked if Colin could get the next one that went into the bull pen. (What are the odds?) Not long after, Yadier Molina hit a home run into the bull pen! So Colin got the ball! And then afterward he also put up a K for a strike out, which is sometimes on TV. (He kept saying that he was on TV.)

He kept that ball with him all day. He even put it into a plastic ball case. I love that he has this memory. If you see him, make sure you ask him about it. Then you can see his glow!
