A few weeks ago, we headed to Grayson Stadium to cheer on our new hometown baseball team, the Savannah Sand Gnats! It was the perfect night to take in America’s Favorite Pastime…not too hot (yes, it’s only May and we’re already faced with insufferable heat in this town) and the girls got to hang out with their new friend and neighbor, Kash. Kash's daddy plays for the Sand Gnats, so between climbing the stairs and eating french fries, the girls also had their first crack at cheering for Mr. Brandon while he was up to bat. It will be good practice for the fall, when they'll be cheering on the Seminoles.
Like almost everywhere else I've been with the girls in this town, I couldn't get over how kid-friendly the entire experience was. (I need to dedicate an entire post to how amazing I think Savannah is for children.) The girls were in love with the lower concourse where they could spy on Gnate the Gnat and run free like they were rounding the bases. L&M thought Gnate was Mickey Mouse from a
distance, and although disappointed that the Mouse wasn’t in Savannah, they were still
excited to look at Gnate from afar. I'm thinking next time, we may get close enough for a high-five. Jury's still out.
The girls loved running around Historic Grayson Stadium (the oldest working minor league ballpark in America) so much, that we actually stayed for the entire game and Eddie and I even got to watch some of it. It was a miracle evening for parents of toddlers. Amen.
And on that note, this game won't be our last!
