Memorial Day Weekend: Part 2

Happy Sunday! I hope everyone is enjoying this day of rest. Yesterday I talked about the first Cardinals game we went to. Well the next day, we went to the second game of the series. It was in the outfield again and it was a day game. Which means it was HOT! I reapplied sunscreen so many times I can't even count.

The game was at four but all of us kids wanted to go to batting practice so we left at around one to head to Dodger Stadium.

Game 2 was also a bobble head night. The first 50,000 fans would get a Jamie Jarrin bobble head as they walked through the gates. Jamie Jarrin was the Dodgers' Spanish broadcaster. Since I am not a Dodgers fan, I didn't really care for it. But as I entered the park, they did not hand me a bobble head. So I headed back a few steps to get one. As I was doing this, a couple Dodger fans came up to my three other siblings and asked them if they wanted a Carlos Beltran bobble head. They had been to a St. Louis game the week before and gotten three Carlos Beltran bobble heads and we were willing to trade with us. In a split second, the trade was over and I had just come back! I was pretty darn mad! I could've gotten a Carlos Beltran bobble head if the workers would've giving me the regular bobble head in the first place! But anyways, after a while of being mad, I decided I could just sell the Jamie Jarrin bobble head and get a good amount of money.

The actual baseball game didn't go too well. Cardinals lost 5-3. We still hit well but we just didn't have control over Adrian Gonzalez. That guy was literally on fire during the whole series! It was crazy. We all had lots of fun despite the loss.

Memorial Day Weekend: Part 1

This past weekend, me and my family spent memorial day in Los Angeles. We went to the three game series of the Dodgers versus, our favorites, the Cardinals! We of course went with our very good friends the Shelbys. We've been going to the Dodger/Cardinal series with them for a very, very long time.

The first game was a night game. It was perfect weather the whole weekend, but especially perfect this night. We all got In-N-Out before the game and then enjoyed snacks during the game. David Freese and Allen Craig both hit home runs that night! It was such a fun game to see. The Cardinals won in a shutout game, 7-0. Here are a few pics from the night...

After the game, the Dodgers kindly opened their field for everyone to come and enjoy the Friday Night Fireworks! The fireworks were even a special edition show just made for memorial day. It was such a good and enjoyable show.

It was definitely a fun time had for all. I loved every minute of it!
