Grady makes his way into the Duck Pond the home of the Madison Mallards Baseball Team at Warner Park. This was his first Mallards game, even though he has been to 6 or so Brewer games.
We arrived early so we could eat supper. They have a huge selection of food and beverage choices.

Ball, ball, ball....

yep, still sleeping...
The Family getting ready for the game.
Why?
Mallard's lead-off hitter Kyle Gaedele, Valparaiso University is the Great-Nephew of Eddie Gaedel. (He changed the spelling for publicity reasons)
On Aug. 19, 1951, Eddie - who stood just 3 feet, 7 inches - became the shortest player to bat in a major league game, taking a plate appearance for the St. Louis Browns while wearing the jersey number 1/8. Not surprisingly, pitcher Bob Cain of the Detroit Tigers walked Gaedel on four consecutive balls.Coincidentally Kyle also walked after I took the picture.

You guys are amazing! Little Grady has had so many great experiences and has been exposed to some amazing stuff in his 18 months as has Audra in her first weeks;) Enjoyed meeting them both this weekend although I feel like I know them so well from following their lives via your blog. I think you are great parents!
