take me out to the ballgame!

jasmine performed 'the star spangled banner' with her choir class at the "frisco roughriders" game on monday night (i didn't get a picture).

they all rode the bus over, and after they sang they got treated to 'all you can eat' hamburgers, hot dogs, chips, drinks, and cookies...and they got to hang out and watch the game. they were having a blast! we went over to where she was sitting to snap a few pics and she said, "you're not going to sit with us are you?" (pre-teens think they're too cool for parents)

so we left her alone to have fun with her friends, and sat a few rows behind her. we brought freddy's cousin eduardo who is visiting from brazil. baseball isn't a big thing in brazil, so it was his first baseball game ever, plus his first time in the states. so he thought it was pretty cool to be at the ballpark and learn about america's favorite past time.

van was totally into being at the game. not so much the game itself, just being there...fascinated by his surroundings. the music, the smell of hot dogs and cotton candy, the excitement of the crowd. the ballpark has a certain energy and feel, and i could tell he was picking up on that.

he was having such a good time, he couldn't resist bustin' a move when he heard some sweet tunes. he's mr. serious when he dances though. gotta concentrate on his moves...
