Anaheim.....A few days later

Yes, we are crazy.  Garrett and I came home from San Diego Wednesday evening.  We got the kids and left for Anaheim on Friday morning.  There is no sacrifice too big to see the Yankees :)

First things first.  We headed straight for New Port Beach to try and get autograph there.  We did not get an autographs, but Dallin met Nick Swisher and took his picture with him.  I told him that we call him "Swish-a-licious" at our house.  He thought it was funny!  Dallin really likes him so he was excited.  




Then off to the stadium.  We arrive at about 2:00 for a 7:00 game time.  The kids just hang out and play around hoping to see some players.  We saw A-rod, he waved, but went straight inside :(


The new novelty outside Angels Stadium is the Baseball Mickey.  Camden loved him and kept trying to give him the baseball.  

Next stop for autos was inside the stadium.  They open the doors at 5:00.  We try to be in front of the line to rush inside when the open the doors.  We race down to the field to get a good position go get players to sign. 




This is the first year that Dallin was VERY persistent at trying to get the players attention withought coaxing from us.  He yelled and yelled and yelled his heart out at the players.  He got a lot of attention from the players, but only Mariano Rivera signed.  Jeter waved, Cano waved, A-Rod waved, Texiera gave him a head nod, and Granderson double pointed and waved.  I am not kidding this kid was loud!  He know all the players so he would yell and yell when they were close.  After awhile we had to tell him to not yell so much, but I did not want to ruin his fun.  While yelling Mariano's name he came over and was so cute to Dallin.  He said "Hey why are you calling my name"  He was talking and joking with Dallin.  Camden would also yell ano, ano, ano.  






We spent the night at Dave and Jenny's that night.  We went to the beach the next day instead of going early to try and get autos.  For the few hours that we were there the kids were in heaven.  They love the beach.  Well Dallin and Kennedy do, Camden wasn't so sure about it, but warmed up to the idea.  







I LOVE that they were holding hands.  I LOVE the Beach!!!








Camden has a shoe fetish.  He wears any and everybody's shoes all the time.  He loves them.
Not so sure about the sand on him though.



Kennedy's attempt to bury Dallin in the sand.



The second game we arrived early enough to get the auto of Jesus Montero, the up and coming Yankees prospect.  He came over just to talk to Dallin too.  He talked to Dallin for a long time.  I was dumb and forgot to take their picture together.  So this is the best I got.

San Diego

We had such a fun time in San Diego for our 10th anniversary.  We flew Dani down to Las Vegas to be with the kids and jumped in the car and headed down to the beach.  We had a great time.  It is fun for a few days just being together not worrying about nap and bedtimes, potty breaks and being constant entertainment.  We missed that though and were ready to get back to it when we went home.  But it definitely was good to get away!
