Go Rangers!

We were raised to be Texas Rangers baseball fans! We would go to the old stadium and sit out on the bleacher seats with our cooler of Capri Suns and x-large bag of Starbursts. Then in high school, my girlfriend Kate's dad had season tickets and she and I would ride in her red Jeep (with the top off, of course) and head to games all the time.

The Rangers have not been on my "fun to watch" list for the last several years. Losing is not interesting, I'm sorry to say.

But this season has been fun! And we've had two great chances to be out at the ballpark. We took the kids on July 27th to see Cliff Lee pitch. It was such a fun game – and it went into extra innings. We stayed and were so glad we did because we won with a homerun in the 10th.

And this past Friday night, my Dad and Christy took us all to the Rangers vs Yankees game. It was a slow, long game – the longest of the season (time-wise). It went into 13 innings and the Rangers won at 12:20 am. We sadly did not stay that long – we left at the top of the 11th (11:30 pm) because we needed to get Caleb's friend, Luke, home and go pick up Jacob (who had football practice and went to dinner with Nana). What a season! Very fun to watch – Go Rangers!
