So that Sunday, which was their last scheduled regular season game, we created the Dome in our house. We all wore our Twins gear and ate "Dome" food. Here is Sylvia sitting in her seat watching the game. She really went for the junk food that day...<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_X3YG7HqLF-s/St-gfAqKsyI/AAAAAAAAANw/NkdkquqGR2E/s1600-h/IMG_5096.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_X3YG7HqLF-s/St-gfAqKsyI/AAAAAAAAANw/NkdkquqGR2E/s320/IMG_5096.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395207333226394402" border="0" /></a><br /><br />"Oh, what should I choose first..."<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_X3YG7HqLF-s/St-hASO1y4I/AAAAAAAAAN4/McMkPD9JTsg/s1600-h/IMG_5110.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_X3YG7HqLF-s/St-hASO1y4I/AAAAAAAAAN4/McMkPD9JTsg/s320/IMG_5110.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395207904879299458" border="0" /></a><br />We were so excited that the Twins won and got a chance to play again that Tuesday in the Dome.

The place was completely packed, and of course we were in the middle of a row with a 5 week old baby! She did awesome, and I don't think the people around us even really knew she was there! She slept the whole time! Which was quite amazing because it was super loud and exciting in there. She sort of woke up once, just enough to drink her bottle and then she slipped into sweet slumber again. What a fun memory! She even got on the jumbotron momentarily.
