Take me out to the Ball Game...

This Memorial Day weekend we took a trek up to Seoul to go to a baseball game with our friends the Muirheads.  We drove to Yongsan Army Base and proceeded to take the Subway to the baseball stadium which is adjacent to the Olympic Stadium.  It was Rick and Natalie's first time on the Subway System and we managed to get to the stadium without a hitch.  Once we got to the ball park we ended up having to buy tickets from a scalper since the game was sold out, but just our luck he had six seats in a row! We were near first base and close to the cheerleaders. Yes, there are cheerleaders at the baseball game. I would compare them to cheerleaders at a basketball game, not worthy enough to be compared to the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders.  The crowd at the game is extreme and nonstop.  It was comparable to a Texas A&M Football game on crack. Even when the team was losing they were still screaming batting batons together and doing cheers lead by the cheerleaders! It was one amazing experience.  Gabby was a trooper not having a breakdown and staying awake during the entire game. However, I don't know how anyone could have slept through that crowd.

The tall tall balloon makers. Natalie loves them!
The game was sold out! Go DOOSAN BEARS!!!

Gabby was interested in my Powerade so I let her try it.  Much to our surprise she drank some then cried when I took it away. She drank a couple more times before I gave her water in her bottle!
