The weather this summer was so nice so we decided to take Elle to a Rivercity Rascals game one Thursday night. Lucky for us it just so happened to be "Christmas in July" at the ballpark. They had Christmas lights up and did little holiday themed games in between innings but the biggest surprise was seeing Santa at the game! I thought Elle may be over her Santa fear because she loves watching videos of him on Netflix but the fear is still alive and kicking! I took her over to see him and she lost it...completely lost it! To make matters worse, the Rascals mascot (a puppy dog) walked up at the same time and only kicked her fear into overdrive. Poor girl! I think she really wanted to like the Rascal mascot, in between tears she would wave and say "hi puppy dog!" but he was just too big and scary for her. We spent the rest of the game on the opposite side of the field. :)
Elle was convinced we were there watching Unc play, she kept cheering and yelling "Go Unc!". I didn't have the heart to tell her it wasn't Will on the field.
Elle ate pretzels, nachos, hot dogs and cotton candy (I think our eyes were much bigger than our stomachs...plus I had a craving for ballpark food :)
Nachos in a dog bowl, Elle got a kick out of this!
Elle would ask us throughout the game if Santa had gone home, she was so nervous about seeing him again. There was one final Santa spotting on our way out so she clung to Eric. :) And ever since she has said she doesn't want Santa to come to her house Christmas morning. I'm hoping we can turn things around by December. :)
