Dodger Days

We have lived in southern CA for 3 1/2 years, and yet we had not been to a Dodger game. Gary and I promised the boys that we would go to a game this summer. There was a group from our church going on Friday night, so we joined them at Dodger stadium. The player to the left is Gary's "new favorite" player.




Brooke had a great time and actually lasted the entire game! Her favorite part was.... "Let's go Dodgers"......clap, clap, clap, clap, clap.

When we first got to the game, Wesley said, "I can see it better on the TV at home." Gary told him we came for the atmosphere. Wesley did enjoy the atmosphere, particularly the beach balls.


Andrew made a game out of seeing what a doofus he could be. When the wave came around (8-10 times), he refused to stand up and just put his coat over his head. Then when it was passed, he would stand up and wave. He liked to sit with his hat entirely over his head (he didn't think we knew he could see through it).

It was a good evening! Let me explain the suspense: The Dodgers were down 2-1 and it was the bottom of the ninth inning, and..............it started pouring rain. We stood there, uncovered, in the pouring rain for one hit. When they called a postponement, we all ran to the covered parts of the stadium. Eventually, we left. The kids were disappointed that we did not get to see the whole game. I was disappointed that we did not get to see the fireworks. Nevertheless, it was a fun evening, and how many times a year do you find yourself with your family and some friends standing out in the pouring rain and actually laughing?? :)
