Since we hadn't thought far enough ahead to bring the tickets with us, we had to make a quick stop at the house before heading to Fenway. The game was already a couple of innings in by the time we got there. Mike dropped us off near the park while he ran into a drug store to grab some diapers. Luck was on our side because the guy in the drug store parking lot, turned super high priced parking for the game, gave Mike a super discounted price for his last space because we had a kid with us. Either that or he gave us a discount so that he didn't lose the full price for the spot. In any case, we all only had a one block walk to the park (compared to the 1.5 miles we normally do for a game).
As Amy, Brad, Dylan and I got to Yawkey Way (Mike still on diaper\parking duty), Wally the Green Monster had just come out for photo ops. We hopped right into the short line and got our pictures taken! !
After doing pictures with Wally and grabbing some grub, we joined Mike at our seats and got settled in to watch the game.
Dylan Watching His First Red Sox Game
Mike couldn't resist buying Dylan the big foam #1 hand. As Brad so eloquently put it, "so you gave your son the finger." Haha! Yes, he did....and Dylan looked really cute rooting for the team with it.
It was approaching Dylan's nap time and he was antsy. So, Amy and I ducked out of the park with him to go scope out the fan shop and try to get him to sleep while walking around with him. But first, he had to try out the big glove chair. 
Since the only Red Sox gear we'd had for Dylan was about half a year too small, I got him a new fan tee that should last him the rest of the (not much left of it) season and perhaps a good amount of 2011's season. Pictures on the rest of the post will show of his new duds.
After walking around a bit, Dylan was very drowsy but just not falling asleep. So, we headed back to the stands where Mike waved the magic sleepy dust over Dylan's head and put him to sleep in his arms in just minutes.
Asleep At The Game
Unfortunately, the Sox didn't win that day. In spite of the loss, we all enjoyed the game, the great weather and the awesome experience that Fenway Park always has to offer.
