Baseball & Backyardigans!

Last night we went to another Diablos baseball game with some friends. The main reason why we went is because we heard that the Backyardigans were going to make an appearance. We knew Mallory would love it and she did. We got there right in time to see Pablo & Uniqua (the only 2 that came) go down on the field and throw the first pitch. She was so pumped. Around the 2nd inning, they had them set up so you could get your picture taken with them. Mallory, of course, would never touch or take a picture with them....she says "I'm shy, Mommy" and she would flip out. And I was glad because the line was forever long. So my friend, Shannon & I took the kiddos right up to where they were taking pictures and just let them look & wave. We were so close that Mal couldn't believe it. She waved and said hello. It was so cute. She had wanted to give them some fruit snacks but we had forgotten to bring them with us. So as were leaving, we asked one of the kids that was helping protect Pablo & Uniqua to please give the snacks to them. I thought sure he would take them and give them to them "later"...that's what we had told Mallory would happen.....but the sweet kid, walked right over, whispered in Uniqua's ear, pointed at Mallory, and gave her the snacks. Oh my gosh, she was elated. We're going to be hearing about that night for a long time. It was such a fun and exciting night....great night with family & friends!
