Today I took Eben, Nolan, and Maxwell down to Des Moines for an Iowa Cubs baseball game. I'm sure that I have been to an I-Cubs game before, but it's been so long that I have no idea when exactly.
I think that the boys had fun at the game. Nolan got to meet the mascot, "Cubbie". I got the boys some "Dippin' Dots ice cream, which they were pretty excited about. I also picked up a souvenir baseball for Maxwell. As for the game, the Cubs ended up losing to the Indianapolis Indians, 9-8. The Indians scored all 9 of their runs in a terrible 6th inning for the Cubs. We ended up leaving in the 8th inning when the score was 9-3... but the Cubs would rally with 5 runs in the 9th that we missed! That included a grand slam! Oh well.
It's become a bit of a tradition to take grandpa Eben to baseball games. Last year we went to a Twins / Red Sox game, and in 2019 we went to a Royals / Twins game. I'm thinking that next year I would like to take dad down to a St. Louis Cardinals game!
