Kernels...

The four of us went to our first Cedar Rapids Kernels baseball game tonight.  They had a promotion through school, so we saw lots of friends there!  Ben was really good for almost 3 innings.  It took Conner most of that time to get over the fact that he didn't get to catch a tshirt when the girls were launching them into the crowd.  The boys calmed down long enough to have some pop and popcorn, but our Ben was pretty much done after that!  Conner, however, was able to spend the next two innings sitting and enjoying the game, or at least enjoying the crowd.  By the end of the 4th, we were debating how much longer we should stay.  We pushed it to one more inning and we left as the 6th was starting.  During this time, Ben made it very apparent that we would have to make our exit soon!  However, as we were leaving, Ben threw a monster fit about how he didn't want to leave yet and we ended up dragging him out of the stadium kicking and screaming.  It was definitely a good experience, but we might wait a while to try again...!  Nick was able to get a picture of Ben before the game started, but Conner refused to move from his seat...
