We were given baseball tickets a while ago and finally used them at the end of July. OKC has a minor league team and their field is downtown. It's a really nice ballpark. I liked it because it wasn't huge like the Dodger's Stadium in California. I like to get in and out of places quickly. Our seats were originally behind home base. I'll be honest, I don't really like baseball (or sports in general). I would much rather spend 3 hours in a museum than be at a sporting event. I think the kids feel the same way. They enjoy plays, musical events, and museums almost as much as I do. It was hot and boring, so after the second inning, we decided to call it quits and go home. Half-way out of the park we noticed a knoll across the field...and it had a playground. We ventured over there and ended up staying the whole game. There were fireworks at the end, but they were right over the knoll, so we had to move. Instead of going back to our seats, we sat in the nosebleed section (it was empty) and we had a great view of the fireworks (and a wonderful breeze). We wanted to sit close to the exit so we could get out quickly. With 4 kids, you always need an exit plan. Sometimes I feel like Jason Bourne searching for a quick escape.

It's easier to enjoy the game when you are not confined to hard seats.
