A terrifying Bee and some baseball!

We headed to the ballpark on Monday night for some baseball action. That is, if you can even refer to baseball as an action packed sport! Good thing my husband doesn't read our blog or I would be in a serious timeout after a statement like that!) I've tried to like the sport, but it's just a little slow for me~too much standing. I'll admit I did carve out a soft spot for it while we lived in Seattle. But if we're being honest it was probably the fresh sea breezes and clam chowder that gave me that soft spot! Anyway, there we were at the Bees game with Amy and Bry, hotdogs, an ant quilt and some fresh spring time air watching people stand in a field!

During the first inning Katie spotted the bee and from then on it was an all out effort by everyone to get the bee's attention. She was dying to meet the bee. Joey seemed pretty excited about the bee as well until he arrived a row in front of us. Of course, Katie was absolutely thrilled that he came to see her and proceeded to hive five and hug the bee. At this point Joey is crying in terror and shaking like a leaf. Thankfully, the bee had other children as eager as ours to visit and off he went. Joey continued to keep a close on the bee and continued to whimper until it was out of sight.

Periodically through the night Joey would let out a whimper and burrow into my chest. It took me a bit to catch on and then I noticed every time the bee would appear in the distance this was his behavior. Now by distance I mean 50 to 100 yards! I know, RIDICULOUS! We definitely know the kids has good eyes. Seriously, the bee was outside the ballpark fence and the kid was shaking and crying.

He is still so terrified and knows the word so well now that if anyone says the word, "bee" his face immediately changes. You can literally see the terror in his eyes as he frantically pans around looking for the dreaded bee. Oh, what to do with our poor boy. Ducks and large friendly bees. Who would have guessed these could be so terrifying!
