June is always a busy, busy month for us. We celebrate David's birthday, Father's Day, our anniversary, and our nephew's birthday all in the same month. It gets a little crazy, so David often ends up with one big gift for his birthday, Father's Day, and our anniversary. This year that big gift was a trip to Texas to tour the Ranger's Ballpark and to go to a Ranger's game. (We had to leave Liam behind because of his peanut allergy. A baseball park full of peanuts plus a toddler with a severe peanut allergy would make for quick trip to the ER!)
The tour of the Ballpark was so cool! David and I are both huge fans, so getting to go behind the scenes was really exciting for us. We started out by visiting the press boxes. This is their view every game. So jealous!
Then we got to go into the room where they hold post-game press conferences.
While in the batting practice area, our tour guide pointed out this whiteboard with a verse and some inspirational words written by JOSH HAMILTON!
And, to wrap up the tour, we were able to go into the Ranger's dugout. We both got to sit in Ron Washington's chair!
While in the dugout, Ron was getting his workout on right in front of us!
We also got to see the batboy putting out bats for the game. We spent some time talking to him about how the players knew which bat was theirs. He pointed out the initials on the top of the bat. Easy enough! (This bat belongs to Elvis Andrus.)
After the tour, we went back to our Bed and Breakfast for a quick nap before heading to the game. The Ranger's made an awesome comeback from behind to win the game! Go Rangers!!!!
