Dodgers for Daddy's Birthday

First of all - Happy Birthday Daddy!  In honor of Daddy's birthday today we're going to talk about his favorite two things: Dodgers and baseball!

On Saturday we had family day at the ballpark.  One of the most contested rivalries in baseball - Dodgers/Giants.  Going to the second game of the series, Daddy was really hoping we could walk out of their with our heads high with a Dodgers win.

But first we had to get to the stadium.  I think this was Drew's first time on BART - I believe the last time we rode it to the city I was pregnant.  Drew LOVED the "train"!

Once we got there, Drew happily started going to town on his favorite food - chicken and french fries.

Drew did awesome during the game - minus the 20 times he had to get up to use the bathroom.  I think that was because he would stop going whenever he heard a toilet in the stall next to him flush - he's paranoid of the auto-flusher, of which AT&T Park  does not have.  So he wouldn't be done going, but say he was... resulting in the numerous bathroom breaks.

It's amazing how quickly after the game ends that the seagulls move in looking for each and every scrap of food left behind by the fans.  We had to hurry and take these pictures in case we were "bombed" by some droppings.

This trip exhausted Drew so much he couldn't enjoy the train ride home - he slept the entire way and for another hour after we got home!

Dodgers lost 2-1 against the Dodgers.  Sorry Daddy.  Happy Birthday anyway.

On a bright note, we did get to see Manager Joe Torre as he was leaving the ballpark. This makes two Torre sightings  in about three weeks.  He even waved back to Drew!
