The family at Petco Park, watching the Padres vs the Dodgers. This checks off one of Bubba's Summer bucket list items: to visit a different baseball park. As you can see, our efforts to not be in the sun, backfired a bit, as our seats and the day were chilly! Good thing we thought to bring jackets to a day game! This is So Cal for goodness sake, who would have thought? I didn't have a jacket, and hubby left his in the car, but I was SO glad I had jeans on, and that the kids were covered. Although we are still avid Angel's Fans, it was a great day watching amazing baseball.
Pure delight to a Mother's eyes. Bubba patiently explaining baseball to his sis, who frankly doesn't care right now. She was there for the snacks.
The hilarious Padre that dances around the stadium in between innings. This is the only baseball park, I have been to that has a Mascot that dresses up and gets the crowd going and excited. With a rivalry between the Padres and Dodgers who are battling for first place, it wasn't a hard day on the job for the Padre. We sure enjoyed his antics though.
Camera malfunction here, but the picture is worth a thousand words. We got to the stadium early to hopefully meet players and get our baseballs signed. This is Bubba getting his baseball back and having a conversation with the Padres' right fielder. Later in the game, we got to see this player make some amazing catches and plays. It was fun being able to personalize who it was with his signature in our hands. Missy didn't talk to him, but loved the experience all the same. Having the balls, on their respective nightstands and the gleam in their eyes when it was over: Priceless.

You are so cute.
I was going to reply and tell you where I was, but your have a no reply blogger address on your comment and I didn't want to splash it all over the net... you were very close though! :) Go a little bit North and you've just about got it.
Blessings,
