Yesterday afternoon Kevin sent me a text that said have the boys ready to go to the ball park around 5:00!! I will be home then!
What?
We don't have tickets to the game!
What I didn't know was this.....
Kevin's SgtMaj was given 4 tickets (compliments of USAA) to Military Opening Night to be given to a deserving Marine in the unit. The SgtMaj told Kevin that no one deserved it more then he did and handed the tickets to Kevin yesterday afternoon!!
Wow!!! 4 tickets!!!
So, we went to the ball park to watch the Padres wear their camouflage and thank the military for their support and their service!!!
My boys at the ball park!!!
We got Military Opening Night shirts from USAA (that is what Kevin and Jack are wearing)! We had GREAT seats!!! If you know Petco Park we were in the section that the recruits from MCRD sit in on Sunday afternoon games!
Before the game it was a salute to our military!!!
The 3rd MAW Band was there to play our national anthem -- and wow, what a great and moving job they did!!!
As they marched onto the field they played the Marines Hymn -- no matter how many times I hear that song -- I get goose bumps every time!!!
The Friar was there sporting his camouflage!
Nick loves to watch him run around the field!!! 
It was cold last night so my boys were bundled up watching the game!!!
But, they didn't stay in their seats the entire time!!!
They were so cute standing there watching the game together and cheering "Let's go Padres!!!"
We really enjoyed our night at the game!!!

A friar in camo....I'm going to have to think about that one a bit more. :)
Looks like you had a blast--what a great surprise (and honor). And I loved the matching shirts of Dad and eldest son.
