"PLAY BALL!!!"

Friday's trip down to San Diego was quite an adventure!! We took two cars-my dad, mom, Shauna and Jaden in one and myself, Lisa, Audrey and Carter in the other. Traffic was going great until we got to Oceanside. Carter was sleeping until that point. The poor little guy has been sick since he got here. He woke up and was NOT a happy camper. He pretty much screamed the whole car trip. We ended up getting off to take a break at the San Diego temple so that we could get some peace and quite!! After about an hour, we loaded back into the cars to head down to the Padres game. Carter was great the rest of the trip down, but then Audrey got an ear ache and was crying until we got to the stadium and got her some medicine. When we got to the stadium, we all got a Padres retro visors to honor one of their great player's Tony Gwynn. We headed to the little kids baseball field to let the kids hit the ball and play on the field. Audrey and Jaden both had great hits, Carter wasn't into it. Then we went to our seats in the bleacher section. "Obstructed view" does mean "obstructed view"!! We couldn't see anything if the action was past the third base or center field, but that was alright b/c there was a huge screen right next to us that we could watch. The kids had a blast playing in the sand box that sits right up against the right field gate. Lisa and I got kicked out of the sand box b/c it was for "kids only"!! Some how Shauna managed to stay and play with the kids....maybe it was her pick tails!! The best part about the sand box was this one little PSYCHO girl named Aubrey. She was pretty much the sand box bully!!! She would throw sand at everyone, hit everyone and she even stepped on Audrey's castle she made. Her best work was when she got this other little girl in a choke hold and flipped her over like she was a professional wrestler!!! We only lasted until the 5th inning and then headed back home. It was a great night. Here are some pictures of the night...
