Zachary's first baseball game.

With a new child there are many "firsts". The first step and the first word are but a couple of examples. As a parent it is a joy to get to share these "firsts" with your child. This past weekend I got to enjoy a "first" that I have waited a long time to experience. We took Zachary to his first baseball game. Jessica and I took him to Stillwater to see an OSU play. His Grandma, Granddad and uncle joined us for the game as well.

During the game, Zachary watched the crowd, ran up and down the benches, played with his toys and generally did everything but watch the game. He danced whenever music was played over the loud speakers, entertained the crowd and cheered whenever he heard someone else cheering, including fans of the other team. He rarely sat still but the experience was thoroughly enjoyed by all of us.

Over the years I intend to take Zachary to many baseball games and other sporting events but there will only be one "first" I didn't get to watch all of the game as I was busy helping entertain him but I don't care. I had an incredible time. He won't likely remember the game but I soon won't forget it.
