Easter Sunday, Go Cards!

GO CARDINALS! The Denison family had no plans for Easter Sunday so in honor of my Mom we really wanted to go to the Cardinals game. It was an afternoon game and Savannah had not yet been to a game so it was perfect. However, we didn’t want to spend a hundred bucks on tickets and then leave in the fifth inning and I missed getting our work tickets so we had thrown in the towel and were looking for something else to do. But then Linda got the call from Keri. She had won some tickets through work and didn’t have anyone to go with her. Since Savannah is under 3, she didn’t need a ticket so we took two of Keri's and we were off to the ball park. Savannah was very excited about going. That’s all she was talking about. It was pretty cute. We started the morning with 8:00 mass and then back home for a family breakfast which worked out to be an early lunch for Savannah. This allowed for an early nap, but the little booger never fell asleep. A few nod-offs on the way to the ball park was all we got out of her so we were expecting it to be an early day. Since it was Easter Sunday, there were not a lot of people at the game which made parking and getting in the gates really easy. Another plus for us taking Savannah. Once in the gates, the questions started. “Daddy, what’s that?” was the most popular one. Oh, and “Daddy, I want a snack.” We found our seats and she (and her Mother) began the people watching. They both tend to do this everywhere we go. It’s good for Linda and I because it seems to keep her occupied most of the time and keeps her pretty well behaved in public. We really lucked out with the afternoon. Not only was the weather nice (not hot, not cold, not too sunny, just perfect) but the fans around us were awesome. Savannah was talking with the group of fans in the row behind us. They must have been a group of friends that share a row of season tickets. They were super nice, high-fiving Savannah and getting her to yell “Go Cheddar!” “Go Wicker!” “Cubs Suck!”, you know, the things you yell at a ball park. We also told Savannah that what happens at the ball park stays at the ball park, so we should be good. Savannah had so much fun that we actually saw the entire game. We definitely have a Cardinal’s Fan on our hands. She has added “Cubs are Stinky” to her list of Stinky teams. A short walk back to the car and we were on our way back home. We expected Savannah to sleep on the way home, but I think she was too excited about the game. Grandma Denison would have been in heaven… if she wasn’t in heaven. Since it was only about 4:30, we decided to finish the perfect day off with a dinner at our favorite watering hole. We stopped at Culpepper’s and had dinner. Savannah was actually asking for her buddy Boggs by name, but he wasn’t working. After dinner we came home and snuggled together on Mommy & Daddy’s bed to watch a little Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Movie that Savannah got for Easter. (The bulb burnt out in our big TV so we had to watch it in the bedroom.) It was the perfect ending to the perfect day. We are excited to do this all over again. Enjoy the pictures, and we hope you all had a very Happy Easter.
