They've been talking about opening it for years, and they finally did, so Andy and I went downtown to Ballpark Village, where we ate lunch and watched the Cards whip on the Cubs. Here are a few pics to sum up the afternoon:
 |
| That's my city! |
 |
| One of many ginormous screens |
 |
| Playing hooky to see the Cards v. Cubs |
 |
| The lawn |
 |
| Lots of games to pass the time |
 |
| Cardinals 250 cake |
 |
| So close, yet so far away... |
Someday, I said to Andy as we ate Ted Drewes on the lawn,
you can bring our kids here and you can watch the game on the big screen while they play. Someday...
Andy's love for the St. Louis Cardinals is infectious. I really wasn't a fan of baseball until I married him. He cheerfully told me all about the village as we walked around, like how the lawn area is on top of the former pitcher's mound of the old stadium (or something like that) and lots of other fun tidbits. Though it was forecasted to rain, we enjoyed the warm sun and cool breeze until we headed down the highway, when the rain began to fall. It was such a delightful afternoon...
If you're looking for a great family activity this summer, I'd recommend this one.
