take me out to the ball game...


so a few months ago (yes, i am still playing summer catch up) we went to a Columbus Clippers baseball game with our good friends, Jamie, Trent and Lucy. not that we even took a group shot. lame. but we had a good time watching the game and chatting. it was a beautiful warm night. brody loved the game, the music and cheering along with everyone. pretty sure brody was stink'in cute in his baseball outfit. love him! we were totally losing the game, so by the 8th inning we were all ready to go. thanks J,T,and L for going to the game with us.
