Roxanne's Kids' Four Favorite Things About A Tampa Bay Rays Game
1. Cheering When the Rays Score
They were dancing and screaming. I’m always telling them to lower their voices around the house because they are so loud, so they were happy to be somewhere where they could hoot and holler at full volume.
2. Eating Dippin' Dots
As soon as we saw the Dippin’ Dots stand, they zoned in. And for a solid three innings after we were back in our seats, it’s like, “Mama, I’m being good. When can we go get Dippin’ Dots?”
3. Going Up and Down the Steps
Why do kids love stairs so much? A mystery. But they were excited every time we got up to use the restroom or get food so they could climb the stairs. Late into the game, they started to get up and do a quick up and down on that first block of steps, so that was our cue to scoot out.
4. Dancing in the Rain after the Game
Dad went to get the car in the torrential downpour, and the girls had a blast running out and getting soaked. Hopefully, we won’t catch colds after this wild night.
