Day 2,195

The 18th 2017 Start

With the city of Miami still assessing and restoring the damage in South Florida, our home series against the Brewers was moved to Milwaukee. While we'd all have preferred otherwise, the Brewers did an incredible job of hosting us as their guests, even though technically, we were the home team. I've never received such generous treatment at a game before and we are so thankful for their hospitality. I think yesterday was either our ninth or tenth game on the road - with three babes in tow. The logistics of our situation proved to be the most difficult, as finding a new place to eat at every couple hours kept us constantly on the go. Thankfully, the Brewers took care of TWO of our meals at the park with food that was more than just your typical baseball park food. Doesn't sound like much, but when you're eating out every meal and having to plan it all out, it has its effect on you. We were given the entire right field terrace, complete with two separate buffets - drinks included.  

It was incredible. 

Better than the food though- and that's saying a lot - was our view. 

The visiting team's bullpen is directly attached to the patio, so the four of us - for the first time ever - got to watch Dada warm up in the pen!! The kiddies were squeaking with delight to be so close to Dad...even though THEY couldn't even get his attention. 

Turning just 90 degrees to your left from the look inside the glass and this was our view. Miller Park is a sure beauty. 

And just as a side note: for anyone who's ever tried to get Adam's attention while he's warming up or pitching...if his most adorable and precious two year old daughter can't get it while she makes their special "buck" sign to him, you ain't getting a look either! Focused Dada!

And the focus proved worth it. Adam ironed out a few kinks in his delivery yesterday - something that he just now fivalky noticed. And it made quite a difference. He was throwing harder and more consistent. The hope is that he'll continue in this direction for the duration of the season. 

Once Daddy took the mound, we moved to our second set of beautiful seats and watched like normal. As usual, Bearett cuddled his little Ella Mae the whole time, giving her kiss after kiss. I love how much he loves her. 

Once he finished pitching, we moved back to right field and watched the Fish secure the win, even in a stadium packed to limited capacity with die hard Brewers fans. They sold out the tickets available to the public on incredibly short notice due to the relocation of the game, and we were in awe. Real life: in Milwaukee, the fans show up an hour or two before EVERY GAME and tailgate. That's like, 80 games in 6 months! When we pulled into the stadium yesterday, it felt like we were pulling into a football stadium on game day. Such a cool atmosphere. 

And even more cool because we got to spend it together. I love our little family. And we love our Daddy. Thank you to the Brewers, who made the unexpected relocation as comfortable as possible. And thank you to the Fish for allowing us to graciously tag along. We are so grateful.
