Cardinals Weekend!

07/24/10 – Cardinals (5) vs. Cubs (6)

This post is a little late but I wanted to still put it up! We had a great weekend in July when the Cardinals were in town playing the Cubs! On Saturday, July 24th, we threw our 2nd Annual Cubs/Cardinals viewing party at the Cubby Bear in Wrigleyville. We had a smaller crowd than last year but the new faces certainly made it a great time! The Cubs ended up winning the game but it didn’t matter we still had a great time! Tom, Austin, Keith, Chris and Amanda were all introduced to the family shot!

Special thanks to the everyone who helped with watching the kids for us! Kiley was in Madison, WI with Grandpa Lee and Grandma Sue. Ella was at a Baby Shower with Grandma Marsha and Grandpa Mark. Connor was at home with Grandma Debbie!

The very same weekend a few of us from the Sports Department at Americaneagle.com headed to the Sunday Night game! We have seats in the left field bleachers first row! It was a great game with the Cardinals winning it in extra innings with a HR by Felipe Lopez! I was hoping to get on TV but didn’t seem to. I did catch a glimpse of us in highlight video on MLB.com for Pujols HR. You have to look close at the end of the clip in the upper left corner. There is a fan in a cardinals hat with his arms spread out talking crap to the guys he’s with! That would be me!!!

7/17/10 – Railcats (1) vs. Flyers (0)

Last night, we had a great time at Alexian Field in Schaumburg. It was a low scoring affair but we didn’t mind because we were with good company. Candi came out to the game with us as Ella was with her dad for the weekend! We also got to hang out with Dave, Alix, Evan and Elodie who actually are friends of Beth’s from work. The outing was put together by our realtor and they do it about once a year. We had seats in the bleachers in the Miller Lite Party Deck! It was hot when we got there around 5pm but it cooled down a bit once the game started and we were able to enjoy ourselves! We stayed till about the 8th inning when Connor got really tired. We didn’t miss much as you can tell by the final score! It’s a great place to see a game and has a lot for the kids to do. We shall be going there again!
