Landon's First Dodger Game



Poor Landon got scared...



Wednesday was a much nicer evening for our family compared to Tuesday night. We all got decked out in our Dodger game and headed up to the stadium with friends Brian and Liz. It was Matt Kemp bobblehead night with the Dodgers playing the Cardinals. Brian and Liz are huge Cardinals fans so they were proudly sporting their own team colors. Liz works for the Kings hockey team and got free tickets through her work to this game so we were lucky to join them. Traffic was OUT OF CONTROL!! Yes, we always have traffic in So Cal but last night was exceptionally horrible trying to get up to the game. We finally got there about 30 minutes after the game started. To our total disappointment, they had already ran out of Kemps bobbleheads...bummer!!!! Our seats were awesome though in the Lodge, right above 3rd base. The first major crowd roar and our poor baby got scared and started crying. Again, Landon cried a couple more times when his daddy forgot he can't yell out to the players with his little boy right next to him. After awhile though, Landon got used to the cheers, chants and boos and stopped crying with all the commotion. In fact, he was a real sport about the whole thing in the end. He stayed awake through the whole game and was still smiling when we got to the car.

Although the Dodgers lost the game, Landon got to see 2 home runs- one by Ethier and one by Casey Blake. He also got to meet my friend Denise who had come to the game with her father and was sitting in the Lodge section too off the foul line so that was a neat little treat.

To my friend Lisa.... we like the Angels but we bleed blue. :)

Oh... and I forgot to mention we saw the newest version of the beach ball toss at Dodger Stadium....a blow-up doll.

So glad your dear son got to see the REAL Dodgers. the ones who lose all the time... :) He did look cute though. I will have to send him an Angels outfit.

Btw, you CAN'T like the Angels if you like the Dodgers. It is not morally alowd. :)
