Never thought my 6 and 9 year old would actually sit through a whole game but we got lucky with good weather and the home team was winning. My son caught a foul ball (well, it bounced into his hands basically) and he's still talking about it two days later. Worth every penny on those tickets.
The fact that they actually sat through the whole game is the real victory. Did you bribe them with snacks or are they actually into baseball now?
Dude, getting both kids to sit through a whole game is a win in my book. Even our dog gets antsy after two innings so you're doing great.
That's awesome man, those are the moments that stick with them forever. We took ours to a Reds game last summer and my oldest still talks about the foul ball he almost caught.
Four kids and I can tell you these random days turn into their favorite memories. Glad the weather cooperated and the team pulled through for you.
This is the stuff that matters right here. My kids still talk about the one game we went to last summer. Those memories stick.
Pro tip for next time, timing it so the game doesn't run too late makes a huge difference with young kids. Glad this one worked out.

Baseball games are perfect for that age too. Enough down time between plays to actually talk to your kids instead of constant stimulation.
