Take me out the ballgame!

"I am going on a date with my Daddy and Mommy"
-Tessa
We arranged for Ella to spend the evening with Grandma Sherry (Thank you Grandma) so we could take Tessa out for a special evening. She was pumped about it just being the three of us. She told Ella "You are going to have a fun night with Grandma, while Mommy and Daddy take me on a surprise night out!" Ella was surprisingly fine with the situation.
Tess did not know where we were going. She was concerned about her outfit selection...What a surprise??? Ha Ha! She picked out some jeans, plaid chuck taylors, her jean jacket, she was all set. We played a guessing game, that she got really into on the way there. When we pulled in the parking lot she was excited, "We are at the ballgame!" the three of us held hands and we pranced into the ballpark!
It was a perfect cool late summer evening, full of many usual "No" things that for the evening we "Yes" things....a meal of hot dogs, sprite, and hot pretzels. Then, Tessa first taste of cotton candy to top it all off....Fun for all! Tess loved the game. Here are some of her quotes from the night...
"I am having fun, but I miss Ella, maybe she can come next time."
"I like watching the bird dance around (mascot)"
"Does that number on his shirt mean he is one-four years old"
"Can we come back again some time?"
"What was your favorite part of tonight Tessa? EVERYTHING!, with a big smile"
A special date night for the three of us.....
(thank you for the gift certificate Mom & Dad....great idea, such fun!)
