So our day started with 4 tickets to the Cubs game in the upperdeck that were given to us by a lacrosse dad on Austin's team. I purchased 2 more in the upper upper deck so the whole family could go to the game. I ran to the store this morning to buy the whole family cubs shirts. We got on the train, walked a few blocks, got on the red line and rode to Wrigley field. That in and of it self was fun!!

| At the Wheaton Train Station - ready for the game! |
We sit down and just as the game starts a man comes and asks us if we want to trade seats with him. It was Todd Ricketts - a cubs OWNER. He said his were in the sun and his kids wanted to be in the shade - would we want to trade. OK...his tickets were row 2 right behind home plate!!! We spend the next 8 innings sitting with coaches wives and girlfriends and actually talking with some of the players. Fukudome gave Kiersten a game ball.
The 2 owners, Todd and Tom Ricketts, both came and talk to us. IT WAS CRAZY!! I told Matt is was all because I went and bought shirts this morning!! It was SUPER hot but something we will never forget. I spent a fortune on drinks and ice cream but all worth it!! After all, the first 4 tickets were free and then next 2 I bought online for 19.00 each!!
This guy was on Undercover Boss just last fall. Tracy said she saw us on TV!! What an adventure! So fun!!
