Why Do We Even Try???

Tim got tickets, through work, for a TN Smokies Baseball Game...YAY! This should be fun, right?? HA! WRONG!!! Kainaan was fun for about 10 minutes...then the whining and tantrums started...surprise, surprise. He wanted to jump on the bounce houses...that cost $1 per turn and we NEVER have cash on us, then he wanted to slide...that's fine but we are hungry, then he wants to go run around the food area where everyone is walking with food, then we get to our seats, after the millionth meltdown in 15 minutes, he eats with no problems...then...he whines, "Kainaan's turn. Kainaan's ball. Kainaan's swing (that's his word for bat)." He would not stop! He wanted to PLAY ball not watch it. Now I know what everyone is thinking..."You didn't expect him to sit for a whole game, did you? HE"S ONLY 3!!" No, we didn't. We thought if we could make it through atleast inning 5 or 6, we would be doing great! Its not like the innings take long, neither team is very good, therefore the 3 outs took no time! We only made it to inning 3 and THAT was too long! We just had to leave, why ruin everyone's game? People did not pay to hear him scream and cry and whine because he couldn't get his way. We have no idea why this time was so bad. He has been 2 other times and was great! Anyways, I did manage to get some pics of him without the meltdowns...

Things are good, we are walking in...


Things are still good, but you can feel the meltdown coming any minute.
He liked Smokey from UT.


Ummm, we have no change buddy...let's go get a hot dog. Hurry before he freaks!


Oh thanks, we avoided the ride on toy meltdown with this, but after this, there was nothing to save us...Kainaan's world came crashing down around him.


Oh wait! Let me stop crying to meet the bear, but don't worry, I will get back to screaming in a minute. "Hey Bear!"


Divert attention, again! Hello Smokey!


I just came out of time out for the millionth time, but lets meet Smokey the Mascot. Incase ya'll are confused, we were at the TN Smokies Minor League Baseball game. But it was TN Volunteer night so that's why both Smokey Mascots were there for University of TN. The mascot for the baseball team is a black bear.


Finally made it to our awesome seats...5th row right behind home plate! Too bad we couldn't enjoy them.


See how close we are!


Wanna meet the team? They were 1 section over from us!


There is the famous crying face we are used to! We were leaving at this point...
