Date night at Fenway Park

On Saturday Taber and I went down to Boston for our first Red Sox game. We left the girls behind for this one since their attention span at baseball games last about as long as the cotton candy. It was fun having a date night though and finally checking out the famous Fenway Park.

We have some friends who live in Boston who got some tickets through church for a discounted price. I guess they called it Mormon night with the Red Sox. Not sure how it all worked out but it was fun picking out our fellow Mormons in the crowd. There were lots of young couples with small children, a few BYU t-shirts, and conversations all around us with words like, "EFY, BYU, ward, mutual, temple, etc..." It was fun knowing we were in good company: )

The weather was perfect, sunny but not hot with a nice breeze coming through. The food was great too. I enjoy baseball just fine but I'd have to say that two of the biggest highlights for me were the Fenway Franks and the amazingly delicious blue cotton candy.

I guess the other big highlight was that the Red Sox won!! You can see in the pic with Taber and our buddy James the sign between their heads declaring Red Sox victory.

It was actually really awesome because we were down 0-4 for like the first 6 innings and then in the bottom of the 9th the Sox came through with one of those exciting movie-type finishes. Nothing like being in a stadium with 35,000 insanely happy people. ; )

Wow! Crazy how you guys have become such sports fans (or stadium food fans) whichever you want to call it! Cool to see James in the pic! Glad you guys had fun!

P.S. I can't believe you're pregnant! I wish that in my not pregnant state I could look as good as you do when you are!

How fun! I love going to baseball games in the cities Daniel and I visit - the Red Sox game we went to was one of the best ones. I love Fenway. The fans are so crazy! Did they sing Sweet Caroline?
