In all the years we have taken the kids to a baseball, soccer, ice hockey or other sporting event, we have dreaded spending the entire time catering to the kids: interrupting our watching of the game or talking to other adults to get popcorn, cotton candy, peanuts or taking them to use the disgusting public restrooms, re-fills on sodas, and answering what the score is every two minutes (it's a baseball game, it doesn't change for hours at a time!).
But this time, our brilliant Karate Instructor hosted a baseball game night for the karate families at the Charleston Riverdogs stadium, with seats being conveniently located next to a huge sandbox area. Ashu played there the entire time and mommy was able to hang out with grown-ups, sit and relax. Seriously, I did not get a single request for a treat! Thank you so much Mrs. Geer, our karate instructor, and whom we love not only for this idea but everyday!
