Stockton Ports

Last night we took the kids to a minor league baseball game in Stockton. As you can see it was very empty there, which made it very nice for the kids! They were able to run around in the aisles and climb over the seats without making anyone upset. You can tell the boys enjoyed it a tad bit more than Dayna. The weather was perfect! We had 90-some degree heat that day and I was didn't know whether it was going to be hot or cold (because of it being so close to the Delta) in the stadium. We really lucked out!! The kids were in shorts, and we brought sweatshirts but did not need to use them. Each of the boys caught a baseball in their gloves thrown to them by a player. Dylan had caught his first so of course the little brother was extremely jealous. David was mad for about the next twenty minutes, hitting the seat with his glove and telling us that this baseball game was "no fun."

I don't think Dayna even knew the boys caught the balls. She was totally wrapped up in the peanuts! She kept saying, "These are good peanuts. I never had peanuts like this before."

Dayna also kept on eye on "Splash" She knew where he was at all times. Anyone who knows her knows she LOVES animals and to her this was just one giant animal to love. The kids were thrilled to be able to take a picture with him and as you can tell Dayna couldn't stop moving while we were by him. Apparently I should have switched to a higher shutter speed!!

The kids' favorite parts of the night were:

Dylan--When the Modesto Nuts won and catching the ball

David--I like my baseball

Dayna--Splash
