A true joy of life is attending a game with your family. To be honest, you can have as much fun at a rowdy neighborhood soccer match as sitting in the stands at Dodger Stadium to watch Mike Lieberthal standing behind home plate. You just have to have the right attitude.
But whether you are in the stands at Dodger Stadium or on a blanket under the trees at the park, there are some basic things that you need to do to keep your family safe. Water, shade, and sunscreen go a long way to ensure that no one overheats and the next day at home does not involve liberal applications of Solar Caine.
Keep an eye on your children. And think about going to the bathroom in pairs. I will be honest, ninety-nine point five percent of the time, you won't even feel your spider sense tingle. But every now and then, you will be glad you were the nervous dad or mom and that you kept your children in eye sight at all times.
In this vein, if there are some folks next to you drinking, getting a little rowdy, think about moving down the stands or finding a different tree to lay your blanket under. Again, most people you see are going to fun and cool. But there is that small segment that as the drinking continues and it grows under the sun and perhaps, they get excited over the fact that their team is winning or maybe losing, well, it can get ugly.
Why not be proactive and remove that as a possibility. Now, even though we have established that you want to keep your children under your eye, you can lose sight of the little dickens. Think about making sure all of your children know their telephone number, their last name, and address. If your child is too young for a cell phone, think about given them change for making a telephone call.
Walk your family around the Stadium or park. Learn where the exits are and make sure your family learns these facts too. In the end, keeping your family safe is primarily a matter of common sense.
Use yours and make sure your family does the same. Oh yes, and do no forget to have fun!
