Fourth of July Weekend - Part IV

Sunday was THE BEST day of the weekend! Lucas attended his very first Cubs game - yay!! Wally jumped on stubhub.com that morning and was able to get some tickets (terrace reserve-infield - not bad...in the shade and still decent). As a side note: Stub Hub is the way to go. We were able to get the tickets for quite a bit cheaper than regular price and being only 30 minutes away allows us to decide last minute that we want to go...good deal!! We dressed Lucas in his Cubbie outfit, we went to church, and then we made our way to Wrigley Field. We got there early enough so that we could take Lucas around the outside of the field and try to get some photos next to the 2 statues and in front of the marquee. Lucas was "eyes wide open" the entire time. We headed into the stadium and just walked around for a bit in order to prolong having to sit down with Lucas for too long before the game even began. We got to our seats and of course Lucas was a hit with all of the people around us. Around the second inning, he was exhausted already and started to get a little fussy. I got up with him and stood in the standing room only section. He quickly fell asleep in my arms so I headed back down to our seats. He slept through the 4th inning and then was up and HAPPY! We were having a lot of fun and the Cubs were winning! Around the beginning of the 7th inning, Lucas was ready to get up again. We decided to just grab our stuff and stand the rest of the game. We sang "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" and "Go Cubs Go"...Lucas must bring them good luck!! Cubs won 8-2! Since Lucas was still in a pretty good mood, Wally wanted to wait around for it to clear out a bit so that we could get down a little closer to the field to take some pics. We finally made our way out of the stadium, picked up a little Cubs hat for Luke at one of the vendors and headed home. Lucas was exhausted, but it was AWESOME!! It was a beautiful day with a Cubs victory and a dream come true for Wally and I to take our little boy to a Cubs game!

All in all, it was a great weekend full of lots of "firsts" for Luke!
