What Some Parents Do for Their Kids (wink wink)

Back in the spring of 2008 Seth bought tickets for the Reds/Cleveland Indians series. He and his friends had gone to Cincinnati one year and then to Cleveland the next to watch the series in the past. So, it turned out that no one was able to go that year. Seth told me and Tim that one of us would have to go. Tim had taken the Friday before the series off of work to go up to Lauren's graduation from Virginia Tech. So, of course that left me. I really didn't want to be gone two weekends in a row but I went anyway. Oh what we do for our kids. ;) Of course I had fun...three Reds games, a walk off  home run by Dunner in the second game, a game consisting of the ERA leaders at the time (Volquez and Cliff Lee) in the third game, a three game sweep by the Reds and spending the entire weekend with Seth!!

 

Fast forward to 2012....Seth bought two tickets to the NLDS between the Reds and San Fransisco Giants. I asked him who was going with him and he said he didn't know. I asked what if he couldn't find someone and he said that Tim or me would have to go. I told him I wasn't going because I didn't want to spend the money. Haha. So, Seth called on Wednesday during the day but I was outside. I called back but he didn't answer. He never calls in the middle of the day so I kept wondering why he would have called and I figured he couldn't find anyone to go so I thought, "well, I'll just bite the bullet and go." He finally called back and told me Jordan was going. Whew. He had called to tell me he was coming over Saturday to watch the baseball games and to see what I was cooking.

 

I know this story seems awfully long so far... Anyway, Seth called me Friday evening to tell me he had good news. Or maybe bad news. Jordan found out he had to work Tuesday night so he couldn't go to Cincinnati. Soooo, looks like I am going to watch the Reds play the Giants in the NLDS!!! What parents do for their children. ;) Of course I asked Tim to see if he wanted to take off work to go but he told me to go. =D Now I'm really excited. Watching the Reds in a playoff game and spending the day with Seth!! A good day in the making.

I can only hope we might see these just like back in May 2008 when the Reds swept the Indians.

 

Or at the very least these!!!
