Go Diamondbacks!

We took the kids to the Diamondbacks game today which was so fun. They hadn't been in quite a while. We happened upon some free tickets so off we went. We got there early so we could all get a Diamondbacks hat. (Just what I always wanted!!!) Great section, great seats, great view... only we lost 6-2 to the Dodgers! About the second inning Mark took the kids to the play area where they got to hit a few balls and appear on the giant screen for the whole park to see. Only, I missed it!

We left in the seventh inning, along with several thousand others. In the elevator another fan was so upset with Bob Melvin (coach) because he allowed the pitcher to throw to the best Dodgers hitter and he scored two home runs. He kept rambling on and on about how they should walk him. It was funny how upset he was and the whole elevator load of people sure knew about it.

It was also interesting how many Dodgers fans there were in the crowd. They were just about as loud as the Diamondbacks fans. It was all in good sporting fun how the different fans would banter back and forth. Good lesson for the kids about how to be good sports even when you are rooting for the other guy in unpopluar territory.
OK, notice the hair?? He did it himself and is totally obsessed with mohawks and wants one every day. I decided that one of the battles I would choose not to participate in today was that of how his hair would look. Good thing tomorrow is Sunday 'cause Sunday's is mom's day to do hair! (Good thing we got those free hats at the game...he wore it all night.)

The games are so fun to go to. Our good friends, the La Cilento's called us and invited us to go to the game with them. They had two extra tickets. I hadn't even got around to calling or e-mailing them and telling them we moved! We are able to go to so many Diamondback games every year because of them. They have the best seats and we usually buy some to the games that they aren't able to attend. They have season passes. We met them five years ago when their son David and Brady played on the same baseball team. We have stayed close and connected through baseball. So getting that call from them, and missing our beloved friends and Diamondbacks, we missed home.

We're glad you got to go and have fun. I didn't even realize that you like baseball Carla. It's my favorite!
