Caleb Turns 4

For his fourth birthday, Caleb, my ultra-cute, cultra-cool nephew, decided he wanted to go to a Twins game so the family converged on the Metrodome on Friday. In attendance were Margaret and Meredith, Greg, Me, and then Chad, Tara, Noah, Ellie, and the birthday boy Caleb.



Seriously, it is ridiculous how cute this kid is. And not only that, he has the sweetest personality! All three of the kids are cute and they draw a lot of attention because they are cute, incredibly well behaved, and funny, but Caleb is special. I was watching the strangers around us watching him and they were all sort of smiling and mesmerized. I don't know what it is about him but nobody seems to be immune. Caleb is a big Joe Mauer fan and everytime Joey was at bat or got a hit, Caleb would raise his arms and do this gesture...what is that called? I don't know...



We had a lot of fun. The Twins won. The kids were in a great mood and very entertaining and the adults all behaved themselves. Ken and Mary Jo missed the festivities since they were on their big Alaskan adventure...or supposedly they were on their big Alaskan adventure. As it turns out, they only made it to Regina Canada before a number of small events convinced them to head back and reschedule the Alaska trip for another time.















Why is it that hotdogs taste so much better at a baseball game? Dome dog and beer...does it get any better than that?

A wonderful time was had by all! On top of being delightful and well-behaved, those crazy little kids KNOW baseball - all of them! I love that!
