Family night at the big "A"

Last night we went to another Angel game. This time we went even earlier than normal so that we wouldn't miss the Angels' batting practice. After going to Mo's for our teriyaki chicken bowls, we got to the stadium just after 5:00. We were so early that we had to walk all the way around the stadium to the front entrance to get in (we always park in the same place because it's so quick to get out after the game from where we sit).

Bryant didn't even want to eat so that he wouldn't miss any batting practice, but we made him finish most of his dinner. After the boys ate, they went to find a good place to try to catch the fly balls. While they were waiting for fly balls, Rick and I headed to the team store to try to find a new hat for Rick. He won't wear the hat I bought him to the games since it's navy blue - so he wears a hat they gave all the fans for free a couple of years ago. When we got back to our seats, the boys tried to tell us they didn't get any balls, but Bryant couldn't hide his smile. This is the result of watching batting practice........ Erin, Dee, Bryant, and Parker before the game
Check out Rick's new hat!
We sat 4 rows behind the bullpen and got to watch the pitchers warm up. Irvin Santana (one of the pitchers in the All-Star game) was the starting pitcher. Unfortunately he was the losing pitcher....

This is the view from my seat without any zoom. Not too bad for the bargain price of $5 per ticket!! (Thanks to the law enforcement discount!)
This is the most Erin smiled while she was at the game - when she was on the phone!
