First, we ran into Baseball Hall of Fame broadcaster Harry Kalas in the parking lot and got a picture with him. Then I asked him to do a "...Swing...and a long drive, watch this baby, outta here! Home run Evan Cronin" but he told me he had to get going.
We had to wait about an hour in line. Evan waited patiently and didn't cry or squirm at all. Heart of a champion, that kid! Finally, the pay off! It cracks me up, because although he has grown a lot, this is the exact face he gave Sir Rod back in July!
The Phanatic then offered to take Evan for a solo picture. Let's just say Evan is OK with the Phanatic only when daddy is around. I've never heard Evan squeal and squirm with such terror. Here is a shot of him leaning far away from his furry friend.
The Philles 2008 Ballgirls, dressed as elves, offered to take a picture with Evan next. For some reason, this time he was completely OK with daddy being far away for this photo!
Next, it was Dan and Elizabeth's turn.
Then Evan talked Elizabeth into getting in another picture with the Ballgirls!
Steph said I could take Evan down to the ballpark only if I promised to make sure he gets his lunch right after photos were taken. And what better place to feed him than Chickie's and Pete's! Here are Evan and Elizabeth enjoying lunch.
Evan saw Elizabeth getting all hopped up on Shirley Temples...
...And decided to make a power move!
Later, he went back to his delicious meal - crab fries, buffalo wings, mozzarella sticks and pickles.
Steph and Mel then met us at Macy's downtown, and we took in the light show. We also toured the Dickens village at Macy's as well! Here is a shot of the Wanamaker pipe organ, the oldest in the nation, from our third floor vantage point. They still play it during every light show.
Evan on my shoulders, again from the third floor.
Steph and Evan in front of the Christmas tree in the lobby, and the the enormous gingerbread house, both in the Ritz Carlton. We had a great day!
