Family Vacation Day 7

Take me out to the ball game,
Take me out with the crowd.

Buy me some peanuts and cracker jack,

I don't care if I never get back,

For its root, root, root for the PADRES!

If they don't win it's a shame!

For its One!

Two!

Three strikes, you're out!

At the Old Ball Game!

Friday, April 22

Ah, the joy of a baseball park. I love love love going to baseball games. Watching them on tv is not entertaining, but being at the ballpark is AWESOME! This was Brad's first time at a professional baseball game. He enjoyed a chili cheese dog to make his visit official. The game was alright, but the Padres can't hit to save themselves, and they lost. Whitney and Kristen spent the game visiting. Preston and Stuart spent the game talking baseball and learning more about it. Emma was the star of the night. The people around us loved her by the time the night was through. She was the Padres greatest fan that night. She was yelling, and getting into it. She even started a "Lets go Padres" chant that caught on with the crowd around us. As people were leaving after the game we had many stop to comment on how awesome they thought she was, and they were right. One even gave her the ball she is showing off above. The upside down hat picture was her rally cap to try to help her team come back and win it. They came up short, but it was a great way to end an amazing vacation.

(If you've hung with me this long, thanks for being patient. I'm documenting this for journaling purposes.)

The next morning we were up early and on our way home. We had to watch Zach crying his poor little eyes out as we drove off. I wish we could have stayed longer (like forever) but real life was waiting for us at home. Thanks again Brad and Whitney for an amazing week. It would have been lame without you!
