A date with daddy

For Father's Day this year, I decided to let Sydney choose a place that she would like to go on a date with Daddy.  I gave her the option of lunch, a movie or a baseball game.  She chose the baseball game and it just so happened that the Texas Rangers were playing the Houston Astros (Craig's team) the following weekend.  I bought some tickets - cheap since I knew there was the chance Sydney wouldn't last the whole game - and made a basket filled with baseball goodies.  We found Cracker Jacks, Big League Chew, sunflower seeds, and some other candy that Sydney just happened to like and pick out.  A couple of days before Father's Day, Craig and I were out to dinner when he tells me that a co-worker was going to give him some awesome tickets to the Rangers-Astros game on Sunday (the same night our tickets were for...my not-so-great seat tickets).  Well of course he read my expression and KNEW that's what my gift was for Father's Day.  Oh well, I wasn't out a lot of money and I knew he'd have more fun in his great seats.  Since there were 4 tickets given to him, I suggested asking Chris Kouba (also a die hard Astros fan) and Katelyn to go along.  The girls were so excited!  The guys brought along treat, suckers, and Capri Suns for the girls to keep them interested.  Well, it didn't really work but they at least lasted until the 7th inning and then headed out.  Not much of a loss since the Astros were getting killed.  I like this idea of a date with daddy though so we might try to come up with something new each year!

Ready to go!
