Playoff Journey Ends...in heartbreak!

It has been a sad weekend in our household. Needless to say, the Texas Rangers did not add a World Series Championship title to their list of accomplishments this weekend, but we had fun cheering them on the entire way.
 Bryan and his good friend, Wade, bought a set of tickets to every home game of the baseball playoffs.  Which meant, for the last 4 weeks or so we have had baseball fever.  Bryan and Wade were at every game, and his wife, Wendi, and I, were at about half of the games.  It was so good to enjoy these playoffs with some very best friends!
 Wade's parents live in Arlington and are also avid Ranger fans.  We enjoyed tailgating with the Holmes before many of the playoff games.

 These are those good friends, Wendi & Wade.  Their son, Jake, just like Brylee, enjoyed the games from home with a babysitter or in their bed!

 Bryan got to take his dad to one of the World Series games, which was special for the two of them.  Bryan and his dad have been watching Ranger baseball for 28 years!

 Such good memories with best friends!
 Even though the final result was not how we would have wanted it, there were definitely some high moments along the way! Wade & Bryan were at the game when the Ranger's won the ALCS. 

 And for old time sake, I found some pictures of last years playoff games.  I was 8 1/2 months pregnant, dilated to 4 cm, and walking up to the third deck in very hot October weather.  What was I thinking?!
 We spent most of our time with the same crazy Ranger friends, Wendi & Wade!
 So even though we chose NOT to take our squirmy 11 month old to any of these playoff games, technically, she can say she has been to the Ranger's World Series!

Until next year...
