We have known about Andrew's upcoming deployment since he returned from Afghanistan in 2008. It really has not been until recently that we started planning and preparing for Andrew's leaving. For me, as a mother of a young Buddy Bee, I started a list of "firsts" that I wanted Buddy Bee to experience with his Daddy. It breaks my heart all the things Andrew will miss over the next year but I am thankful for the adventures we were able to experience with the Buddy Bee and Daddy. One of those things on my list was Buddy Bee's first Baseball game. So, one night in August we headed to New York to watch the Binghamton Mets at Buddy Bee's first baseball game.

The Bee thought it was fantastic!
Our little family.
Our seats were right down on home plate so, Buddy Bee got a great view of all the action.
Keeping his little face away from the net was a struggle but he sure was cute watching the game.
He would get so serious watching the game.
He even shared his baseball stickers.

While Andrew was gone getting us hot dogs Buddy Bee moved down the row.
Buddy Bee started getting restless so, Pastor took him on a little tour of the stadium.
He even met Ballwinkle the mascot with a friend of ours.
When Buddy Bee got restless Andrew took the boy for some hitting practice.
My boy is not bad for a 2 year old.
He had a blast.
Back to watching the end of the game with Daddy. The Mets lost but we had a great time anyway.
There was one more first for the Bee that night. We stayed after the game for the fireworks which, absolutely mesmerized him.
It was a perfect evening and I am so glad Andrew got to share this with the Bee.
