I truly cannot believe my sweet, little boy is 5!! We celebrated in a big way this year. On Saturday, January 29th we headed to Minute Maid Stadium for some baseball fun. Brooks has been talking about this party for almost a year. Would tell everyone who mentioned his next birthday that his party would be at the baseball stadium. This little boy loves "EVERYTHING" sports. I was a little surprised at the red tape involved with having a party at a major league baseball stadium. I was required to send a list of every guest attending the party, we were not allowed to leave the party at any time unless the staff were notified, etc. The party began with a tour of the stadium and then the best part...heading out onto the field. The boys ran the bases, got in the Astros dugout, and played in the visitors bullpen. Every little boys dream!! Then, we had a lesson on how baseball and bats are made. Finally, time for cake in one of the suites overlooking the field.
Warning, lots of pictures. I still need to add a picture of the invites and party favors.
