Baseball Game

We had been wanting to go to a Padre game with Ethan all season long, and it never seemed to work out. Until last Sunday, the very last home game of the season. We went to the ball park with some friends who have two little boys. Ethan and N are only a month apart and get along great. It is so much fun to watch them both play together and interact.
Petco Park (home of the Padres) has this section called park in the park and it is a little park with a mini ball-field, grassy knoll, and playground for kids to play on. Petco also has a section called the bleachers where you sit out in the outfield, but there is a giant sand box that the kids can play in while you watch the game. It is a very kid friendly park. We sat in the bleachers, and really enjoyed ourselves (although there was this annoying Park worker who was playing these games with some of the older kids, who kept screaming in our ears. We could have done without his yelling).

This was Ethan's very first baseball game so we had to buy him a Padre ball cap (don't tell him, but mom and dad really bought it at the sports store right outside the park for about half the price of the ones inside the park).



We were a little bummed the Padre's lost the game in overtime, but as you can see there was plenty of things to distract us. Better luck next year, Padres!
