Abbey's First Ranger Game=FAIL!

So on August 23rd we decided to take both kids to the Ranger game because Luke had free (good) tickets and they were playing against the Red Sox! Plus, who doesn't love to go to the ballgame? Well, in the TX summer heat, it should have been us. I was hesitant to go from the beginning. My intuition told me it wasn't a good idea and was going to be WAY to hot. I should have listened. BUT, our tickets included a free admission into the Cuervo Club which was air conditioned, so I figured we would be OK. Well fast forward to game day-We get to the ballpark and both kids are asleep. I put the baby bjorn on and strap sleeping Abbey to my chest (Fail #2 being abbey does not really enjoy being worn) and Luke carries Dylan asleep on his shoulder. We were excited to be at the game but man did the walk from the car to the ballpark get REALLY long with the hot texas sun beating down on us. We finally make it in! About then, both kids wake up wondering where the heck they are. All is well and we proceed to our (outside) seats. MY back is drenched in sweat but I'm hanging in there. Then we decide to go get a hot dog (it's $1 hotdog night, woot woot!) and about that time Abbey is looking a wee bit concerned but doing ok. We go back to our (outside) seats and eat our hotdogs. We should have gone straight to the Cuervo Club to check it out. Instead, Abbey starts screaming as we sit down and it all goes to hell in a handbag. We decide "maybe" it's too hot for her and we should go inside, hmmm would have been nice, but there was a HUGE line to get inside. Well luckily with a screaming baby the guys at the door let me hang out inside by the door and I was able to nurse Abbey. That was about the only time she was ok, the rest she was not happy and crying. So, we decided we better leave. AND, that was our fun time at the Ranger game, FAIL! Here's a picture before the chaos began:
