Last Sunday we were invited to see some minor league baseball, The Brooklyn Cyclones, with some friends. Matt and I aren't really baseball fans and it was a good hour drive away, but at $17 a ticket we decided it was the best chance Ethan was going to get to see some baseball while we lived here so we decided to go.
Since it was a good drive we decided to pair it with the NY Aquarium. Part of our Bronx zoo membership that we hadn't had the opportunity to take advantage of.
The Aquarium is being refurbed after Hurricane Sandy, so not fully open. But we got to see lots of fish and a Sea Lion show which the boys loved.
We walked along the Coney Island Boardwalk. An interesting eclectic mix of people enjoying a summers day.
The backdrop was a huge theme park where Ethan showed his fearlessness by requesting to ride many rides including 'The Thunderbolt' a vertical drop roller coaster!
We then walked to the baseball stadium.
Ethan enjoyed spending time with his friend Nolan. Nolan's dad Marcus brought Ethan a baseball and lent him a glove for the game.
I couldn't tell you who won, we left after the sixth inning after the boys started becoming restless. After a traffic jammed drive home we stopped for a quick dinner. Here's some of the boys at dinner.
Overall it was a lovely day and a great experience seeing some of Brooklym and taking the boys to a baseball game.
