High Achievers

This spring we heard about a program we were excited to look into.  The Cleveland Indians High Achievers Program was an opportunity to get FREE tickets to the Indians games for the kids!

We registered all 3 boys in the program and submitted their A's and B's online as well as a reading report (which was a simple title, author and summary of 3 books for each boy).  After all that was submitted we got 2 tickets per boy.  1 for the grades and 1 for the reading report.

Yep - 6 free tickets!  So yesterday we headed to the Cleveland!

We arrived early enough to watch the Indians batting practice.

 Amazingly enough, we got 2 practice balls!  FUN!

We also had some time to look around the stadium!

Our seats were great too.  Up in the upper deck, right behind home plate.

 The only thing we weren't really prepared for was the wind!  It was downright COLD with the wind coming in.  

Our Indians won the game so that made it great too!

We really did have a great time and enjoyed ourselves.

The sign below was one the boys had made.  They were a little disappointed when the jumbo-tran went out about half-way through the game, Eli especially was hoping to see himself holding the sign.  He continued to hold it up throughout the game and cheer, but was slightly disappointed not to make the big TV!  The Jumbo-tran was also the highlight for Maddie, so when it went out she was "bored" without the big TV - she settled for people watching instead!

One more thing...the High Achievers program allows us to submit 2 grades and 2 reading reports!  So we have 6 more tickets to a game this season!

Yeah, we get to go cheer on our Indians for another game later this summer!
