We had free tickets to the Cardinals game on Sunday so we decided to take Carter to his first game! The game had been scheduled to start at 1:15 but it was picked up by ESPN so it got pushed back to 7:15. That was good because Carter could still get in a little nap beforehand. We wanted to try to get there early enough for batting practice so we left our house at 4:00. We picked up some Subway sandwiches on the way and then headed to the Metro station. Whenever we head downtown for a popular event we try to take the Metro. You don't have to mess with traffic and parking and it is usually cheaper than paying for parking. This was the second time Carter had riden the Metro. We hadn't told him we were going on it so he was excited when he saw the trains! 
Carter wasn't too interested in the game once it started. Although we were only 9 rows from the field, we were in the outfield and it was a little hard to see home plate. At one point we asked him where the bat was and he pointed to the foul pole! lol He did have fun yelling "CHARGE!" and clapping to the music. He also enjoyed eating and going between me and Aunt Chelle Chelle.
Overall we had a good time, although the Cards did lose 4-3 in the 10th inning (we left after the 7th inning).

We got to the game an hour before it started but missed batting practice. We did get to see a dog parade though (it was Pooches in the Park day)! Carter had fun running up and down the stairs and going from seat to seat.
