Monday night we took the whole gang to see a baseball game at Tropicana Stadium, which has to be the WORST stadium in all of baseball stadiums. Be that as it may, the kids were excited, we all had worn our Red Sox/Big Papi/Ortiz shirts that I had made, and we had seats right behind home plate. Well, right behind home plate and up about 300 rows :) We watched some pre-game stuff, saw the first pitch get thrown out (it was ALS awareness night, so there were a lot of ALS supporters there and the boy who threw out the first pitch is the son of a man with ALS), then the game started and the kids had cotton candy and hot dogs. Yippee!! The Sox were doing ok, then they had an amazing 3rd inning, scoring 4 runs, 2 of which were home runs!!! All was going well for the first 1 1/2 hours, then Molly started crying uncontrollably and telling us her ear hurt. (If you know Molly at all, she is tough as nails, so when she is crying like this, something is REALLY wrong with her). We made the decision that we had to leave and find her a walk in clinic to assess what was wrong. Luckily they have this 'After Hours Pediatrics' office that takes only kids and only from 5 - 11 pm. Turns out, she had a massive ear infection in one of her ears and the doctor that treated her got his medical degree from Syracuse. We knew it was all ok when he walked in and said that he knew where Endicott, NY was.......Still a fun night, despite Molly feeling poorly. Worst news? Red Sox lost, 6-5.
