Astros Game - July 17

Shawn and I took Jase to the Astros game after church on Sunday.  PawPaw signed Jase up for the Astros Buddies Club, so this was the game we chose to come to for free!! While we were in section 417, the view was actually not that bad.  We had a clear view of the entire field and could see the scoreboard just fine too.  No complaints here.


We decided not to take Ally along on this trip and just to make it about Jase.  She does ok at the games, but she'd rather not be confined to a seat for 3 hours! Jase cheers on the players and team and yells out his chants...I love it! Can I also say that it was nice not carrying around a bag? I just had my little purse and that was it! Missed you Ally, but glad you had fun swimming with Nanny! :)


So, this was the BIG GAME where Jase had an opportunity to run the bases...oh man, he was PUMPED!! We went down to to Section 132 during the 7th inning and got in line.  We could stand with Jase in line, but once they opened up the gate, all parents had to leave and the kids walked down themselves...yikes...he's 4!!!!

So we get down to Section 132 and stand in line, and he is probably about the 10th kid in line...yippee! LONG story short, and I'm talking a 1 hour long story, Astros went into extra innings and they ended up losing in the 11th.  It wouldn't have been that bad, but we stood up the whole time from the middle of the 7th to the end of the 11th, and Jase was really good, but kept asking after every half inning "is it time to run the bases yet?" Poor thing.

When they opened the gates I headed for the stands and Shawn waited up top and watched Jase walk down to the field to make sure he was A-ok.  What a big boy he was!!!


He absolutely LOVED it!!! I'm so glad that we stayed and waited in line, so awesome! And he kept saying  he looked like Hunter Pence. I guess Hunter Pence wears a necklace, so Jase wanted to wear his memory verse dog tag from Church to look like him; it was cute!
