Not a Baseball Fan／野球の興味なし...

Way back in March the Varsity Baseball Team at my school ran a fundraiser where if they could sell 100 tickets to a Staten Island Yankee Game then they would be able to play one of their games on their field...well they played that game in April and tonight was the Staten Island Yankee Game. So Anna, Madison and I traveled to Staten Island early in the afternoon to avoid the traffic and then we took the free ferry (best value in all of NYC) over to lower Manhattan where we had lunch and visited some stores. Then we took the ferry back to Staten Island and the ballpark is right there. We saw some of my co-workers and some of the guys from the baseball team, but it was a little too long of a day for Madison as she couldn't handle the excitement of the ballgame and we had to leave before the fourth inning...on the plus side we beat all the traffic home and a pretty strong thunderstorm!!
長い話になるけどまず最初はパパの学校の野球部の子達が今夜のスタテンアイランドヤンキーズの件を１００枚売れれば４月の終わりに他の学校のチームと練習試合ができるという事に...ナノで今日はお昼頃にスタテンアイランドへ向かって出発！そこからフェリーに乗ってマンハッタンの下の辺に到着。お昼を食べて少し買い物をしながら３人でぶらぶらしまたフェリーに乗って帰りフェリーを降りてすぐそこにある野球場に行きました。試合を見に来たパパの仕事仲間や生徒達にマディソンを紹介したりとしていたけどやっぱりマディソンには長過ぎた一日...４回に行く前に家に帰る事に...渋滞と大雨が防げたからよかったんだけどね：）ありがとマディソン！

Mommy thought Madison's big toe looked really cute hanging out of the stroller.

Mommy unhappy as we have to leave the game so early and Madison perfectly content now that she has gotten her way.
試合の途中で帰らなきゃ行けないから悲しいママ。
While she wouldn't stop fussing as we sat in our front row seats at the ballgame, she fell asleep within the two minute walk it took to reach the car...what a punk :-)
野球場ではぐずってばっかりのマディソンは車まで歩いていた２分間のうちにすっかりと寝付いちゃいました。うっそ〜！
