Baseball Beauty


Saturday night I got to enjoy a little Fathers Day treat. I took Sydney to a Bowie Baysox baseball game. The Baysox are a Double A feeder in the Orioles organization and they do a great job making the game family friendly. There are children on the field every inning doing some kind of contest or game. They also have a kids play area with carousel and moon bounce.

We had a great time. In the third inning Sydney got invited to be one of the Tooth Fairies that go out and sweep first and third base to make them sparkling white as part of a sponsorship by Mr. Bristles Dental Service. She did a good job, but proved to not really like the spotlight in front of strangers. The more they cheered the more she wilted, but she held it together without tears (barely).

I was proud of her non-the-less, and thrilled that she had an opportunity like that. She even said later that she would do it again if asked. It was a great Fathers Day treat.
