From the W's we decided to catch the light rail and take that to the Metrodome. MVJ decided this was about the sixth circle of hell. She screamed the WHOLE time, and it was standing room only, so I was trying to soothe her while SO, NW and JP acted as my human shields! JJ and TAF were split up farther away from us. We finally got off the @$#% train and MVJ began to calm down. I knew she was just fine -- I guessed it was the noise and commotion. We met up with the rest of our crew: MF, AW, SV and her hubby JM, and headed inside.

We found our spots - awesome left field seats on the end of a very long aisle. Being on the end was fabulous except for one minor exception --- everyone (and I mean everyone and some people multiple times) came by us at some point. Sometimes it was inconvenient - MVJ had just fallen asleep, just taken a bottle, whatever. But, we couldn't complain - (well we could... and did...) but it was just so much fun to be out at a game! MVJ was too cute in her little Twins outfit, but it was a little masculine. Daddy felt the need to put her pink pants on here and one group of businessmen on the train with us chatted about our little baseball player. The one closest, however, commented that first she'd have to ditch her pink pants! heehee When she got much too warm, we took the pink pants off and several people commented about our baby boy's first trip to the game. Of course I can't imagine looking at her and seeing a boy, but whatever. : )

The only homerun of the game was hit into our section, so that was superfun and the cotton in MVJ's ears worked wonders. Before we could find some water, MVJ even nursed in the Metrodome, which later JJ noted was "kinda cool." She also received her first formula at the game, which she took to very well. Yay! MVJ is still very strongly in the midst of stranger-danger. It makes me quite annoyed that she won't go to others, but after she spends some quality time with someone, she'll usually spend a little bit of time in his/her arms.

After the game, we learned our lesson about the light-rail, and realized that waiting for three or four trains to go by so we could be on a much less crowded one was time WELL SPENT. MVJ did really well, despite getting hungry. I was a little angry at JJ for not letting me nurse her (with cover of course), but later he said there were too many creepers on the train. heehee In the end, MVJ made it just fine to the W's, where we dropped off JP and picked up TAF's cooler. In fact, she fell fast asleep and slept the whole way back to the F's. You go girl!
