First Blue Jays Game

We have taken Logan to a few smaller arenas/grounds before to see some games (Storm playing at Guelph arena) but he hadn't been to a major game like the blue jays at the Rogers Centre (skydome for the old school in the audience).

The plan was for Bob's birthday to buy him a ticket and take Logan for the game too. Unfortunately, bob couldn't make it last minute as a fishing trip was changed that he couldn't get out of and so I took his place. As you will know I'm not a major sport fan but was glad I could go in the end especially being Logan's first time. Mike, Christine and the kids managed to get the seats next to us and they turned out to be great seats (good choice Janice) at the front of 200 level. Which for the non-Ontarians means about half way up the stands with a great view and we were roughly inline with first base.

Logan was very excited and slightly overwhelmed with it all as unknown to us when we booked the tickets, the jays were about to have the best season they've had for around 20 years. So there was 47,412 people there and the games always have a lot of music and show pieces going on to entertain you (because the baseball sometimes struggles to....).

And knowing that lots of people take kids they have all kinds of "stations" to entertain them (and you) before and during the game and Logan and I took a couple of "walkabouts" around the ground. You can cover quite a lot of ground going up and down the levels and seeing the game from different vantage points, whilst hunting for some drinks, snacks and getting tattoos!

Kinda wondering what is going on!

And although they ultimately lost the game it was an exciting one in-between our wanderings and that meant Janice could get to watch most of the game, so everyone was happy.

And then we avoided the rush of traffic going home by grabbing coffee and dinner around the waterfront in Toronto with Louise, and Logan managed about 2 minutes in the car before passing out on the way home, so good day had by all!
