Mudcats Game

On Saturday, we took the boys to their first Mudcats game. The Mudcats are a double AA minor league team. Their stadium is about half way between our house and where Seane is working right now, so we were able to met him after work.

The boys were looking forward to meeting Muddy- the catfish mascot. They no longer have any fear of these dressed characters. When Brett did meet Muddy- he asked if he was real. Muddy responded by shaking his head. Then Brett, always thinking, asked Muddy why he doesn't talk. Muddy's handler responded by telling Brett it is because catfish don't talk. He was satisfied with that answer.


We did face an 1 hour and 30 minute rain delay. We watched as the grounds crew struggled to put on the trap in the 40mph winds. Even Muddy got in on the action. I tried to talk to Brett about watching them work as team to get the trap to stay down. We also killed some time eating- chicken fingers, fries, and some dip and dots ice cream.


Next, Breandan wants to go back on a Fireworks night. We didn't leave till almost 11- both boys stayed awake the entire time. The game went into extra innings and although we lost the game- everyone had a great time.
