GIANTS BASEBALL GAME!!!

Ryan and I wanted to take the boys to a San Francisco Giants game this summer. So, we got tickets with my dad, his friend Rose, Gee, Garrett, Kristi, Cody, and Logan. We left Chase and Emily at home. Chase stayed with Bill and Cindy which was great! And actually Ryan ended up not being able to go. He had to drive some young men to a tri-stake youth conference in Eureka. So the boys drove down with Garrett and Kristi and their boys in their car, and I drove down with Gee in her car. She drove herself because she was going to stay in Sacramento for a young adult conference. The game didn't get over till around 11pm and we drove straight home, or I should say Garrett did. Thank you Garrett! Chase slept at Reasbeck's and did great! We didn't get home until 3:30am. Fun times though, fun times.

We got to SF a little early and went to Pier 39. The kids watched a pirate magic show, we saw the seals,

rode the double decker carousel, Ethan, Evan, Logan, Cody, and Chan in the back
and then ate yummy clam chowder in a bread bowl! Then we headed down to AT&T park for the game. The traffic for just a few blocks was insane and we missed the first pitch. But we did have a great time.

The boys at first only cared about hitting all the food vendors that were walking up and down the aisles. But the 9th inning got exciting with tons of errors and bad pitching on the Giants part and the boys finally got interested. Needless to say the Giants lost to the Reds 10-5. The boys were bummed, but still happy to be enjoying the big city.

And thank you Bill and Cindy for watching Chase. He definitely would not have wanted to sit there.

  1. AHH! We always wanted to go to a giants game at the "new" stadium and never pushed it "knowing" we were going to stay in Sacramento! I'm so glad you got to go. I do miss taking the kids to SF. It's such a fun place.
