Opening Day!!!

Yesterday afternoon we headed downtown to the Gaslamp Quarter because
we had these!!!
To go here to Petco Park for Opening Day of the 2009 Baseball Season!!!!
The boys were so excited!!!

It was a thrill for us to be at the park on Opening Day and to start the celebration of the Padres 40th Season!!!

Before the start of the game -- the SDSU Marching Band came out onto the field and made a GIANT #40. And then they played the National Anthem while the entire stadium sang along!!!

Then it was time for the opening pitch!!!
San Diego Padres vs Los Angeles Dodgers!

The boys sat and watched the game and cheered on the Padres!!!

But, it was not looking good for the home team -- so it was time for a RALLY!!!
The Friar rang the Rally Bell!!!!

And my boys put on their rally caps!!!


With the final pitch.....
We knew our rally didn't work -- and our "hometown" Padres lost.

Even though the Padres lost it was so much fun to be at the park on Opening Day!!!
We all enjoyed the festivities, the fun, the food, and the All American game of Baseball!!!
We are looking forward to many more spring/summer days at Petco Park!!!
Go Padres!!!

You do so much with the boys--you would be fantastic tour guides! You definitely make the most of each place you're posted. That's awesome, thinking of all the experiences the boys will have by the time they grow up. What fun! And what great memories for all of you!
