Iron Pigs

Five families descended on Coca-Cola Park to watch the Iron Pigs host the Charlotte Knights.

Several of the boys along for the game found the scorekeeping interesting. Note the hand-writing of an observant 12-year-old in the 4th inning. Mark's work there allowed me to go off and get the parfait. 

I had fun explaining to Jack why we use the letter K to signify a strike, and why a backwards K has significance. 

I wish I hadn't waiting as long as I did (until 2014) to go to minor league baseball with my kids. But I'm glad I'm going now. Caroline enjoys being there with her friends, though I think the prospect of appearing on the big screen is more important. For Sam, little is more satisfying than a night at the ballpark with friends. I think he's fine with his parents being there, too (though we may be a bit expendable).

Oh, and the food is amazing there.
