Ready for Baseball!

Gracie girl went to a Sea Dogs game today with Daddy. The Portland Sea Dogs are the AA affiliate of the Boston Red Sox. Grace was very excited to go to the game.

Prior to arriving at the baseball stadium, Grace practiced her cheering on the swings at the park.

Grace made friends with a man playing the banjo outside Hadlock Stadium. The banjo player was a former student of Edson Hadlock Jr. who taught physics and coached baseball at Portland High School from 1950-1978. The stadium is named after Mr. Hadlock. The banjo player has seen generations of baseball fans pass through the gates at Hadlock field.

Grace loved all of the people inside the stadium. She said "hi" to everyone she saw! Grace and Daddy then went inside the stadium where they enjoyed a mix of baseball and dancing in their seats!

Wow! What a treat to spend a day with Daddy, Grace! And of all things to do....of course, Daddy took you "out-to-ball-game"! I bet you two had the best time together.
I can just see you both dancing in your seats to all of fun music that they play at the stadium! I think that I need to hear more of that story!
Mommy, I hope that you were able to:
1. Get a few things done for the new baby.
2. Rest and maybe even take a nap.
3. Not miss your Gracie Girl too much!
Sounds like a perfect way to spend Labor Day on September 1st for all of you!
Love, Maddy/Mom

In the first picture, Grace, you look like you're ready to run the bases. I bet you would go super fast around the field.
The banjo player must have been thrilled to have such a pretty girl for his audience. I wouldn't be surprised if he chose at least one song especially for you.
It sounds like everyone had a good day. Yeah!

Got Gracie, Jack & Eve?
