So you wanna be the coolest parent on the block? Consider sending the brood to the Ballpark After Dark Sleepover this weekend and you'll be off to a good start. Better than an old school lock-in, it's like spring training for your kids. The program, for grades 1 through 5, is full of baseball-related activities that teach teamwork and sportsmanship all while being fun (Rangers' batting cages anyone?), culminating with a late night snack and a baseball movie. The sleepover is Friday night at the the Legends of the Game Baseball Museum and Learning Center, 1000 Ballpark Way in Arlington. Call 817-273-5087 for more information.
