In Mason’s continued love of baseball we have set a goal to attend a baseball game at each of the 30 MLB stadiums by the time he turns 30 years old. This past Monday Mason and I took the first step in this effort as we traveled to Houston for an Astros game against the Nationals and I don’t know if I have ever enjoyed a game as much as I did this one. The excitement and joy that Mason showed was incredible and this trip proved to be a great father/son trip that I will not soon forget. Below are some of the pictures from our trip.
Checked into the hotel and taking the 28 floor climb in the elevator
Kicking back and enjoying the hotel shuttle ride to the game with his complimentary water…He was very fired up about riding in the shuttle
Arrived and ready to enter the Juice
Note the Astros gear, another portion of his dream is to get a jersey from each ballpark. Still learning the loyalty to one team trick.
Starting the game of musical seats with a stop in left center field.
While enjoying centerfield we ran into this overly enthusiastic fan with a glove. Was pounding away at his glove talking to the players and stretching in anticipation of the next ball hit to him…which never occurred. Quite certain he may have passed the age limit for bringing a glove, but I guess you are only as old as you think you are.
With the Astros down in the 8th I got to introduce Mason to the rally hat
In our fifth and final seats for the game, the rally hat worked, temporarily, as the Astros went on to lose in extra innings.
Truth be told, this could have been titled a Daddy’s dream as well.
Team Fricke 
I can send him a Cardinals jersey! He’s been there and I have been itching for years to do it!
