FanFest 2009

Enjoying baseball related activities in 30 degree weather is not so fun. However, Sarah is a little trooper and she had a good time; as long as daddy was bribing her with gummies occasionally.

FanFest is sponsored by the Texas Rangers, the local big league team in the area, for those not from these parts. It is primarily devised to get folks out to the park and buy season tickets. Many of the ballplayers are available for autographs. That is, if you don't mind standing in line for an hour or two in freezing temperature. We had none of that.

Sarah hit the various scavenger hunt tables and when that was complete, we headed to the Diamond club to collect her prize and warm up.


Above are a couple of Rangers' emissaries who took a liking to Sarah.



The Rangers let the kids run the bases. Above is our little girl standing on second base, in the middle of it all.



The Dallas Cowboys are building their massive stadium nearby. Here is Sarah in the Rangers' parking lot with the nearly complete structure in the background. IT IS HUGE!

Hey Jayne, wish you and Emma were there with us.

Very cool family outing. Did you get any autographs or see anyone?
