Recently, Dave was able to get 4 tickets to the Tampa Bay Ray's game. They were playing the Seattle Mariners. We took Dave Affleck along with us :) Nathan really did well. I'd say his favorite part of the game was playing catch with "Coach," as Nathan referred to Dave Affleck, who is a retired PE Coach. Coach would sit in a seat that was one step higher than Nathan, and they would throw a little foam baseball that one of the Ray's girls gave Nathan. I think they both enjoyed it! There was lots of excitement during the game...suicide squeeze attempt, homeruns, stolen bases, great hits, and great pitching. Everytime there was a commotion, especially for a home run, Nathan was stunned as he watched everyone stand up and cheer so loudly. Just about everytime, he would say to me, "go home now?" I think he very much enjoyed the game, but did not enjoy the loud cheering. Nathan and I went to pet the sting rays. It was soooo neat. Nathan really enjoyed seeing them. He was afraid to touch them, but I think he did touch them briefly once. You see, in order to pet the rays, you place two fingers together, as if you were checking your pulse, and put them in the water, waiting for the rays to swim by. We were instructed only to touch their "wings" even though their stingers had been trimmed off. {they grow back!} It was a wonderful night! Here are some pictures from the evening at the ballpark :)
