Major League Baseball

Today was Little League day at Giants' stadium.  Nana was nice enough to stay with Serafina while Leo, Tom and I went up to the city.  The day started early with a Q & A with the players.  We figured Leo probably didn't have any questions for the players, so we got there just a couple hours before game time for the parade.  All the Little Leaguers were invited to walk out on the field before the game.

We got in line.

Our place to wait was along the water, so it was quite lovely.  Leo was happy with the Buster Posey pin he received as a giveaway.

We waited and waited.

It was a long wait to get into the stadium, but Leo was a good sport.  We were very happy that Serafina didn't suffer though the waiting.  But then we got onto the field and it was very cool.

Not sure why he's posing like this.  You can see some Padres players warming up in the background.

There were so many kids and parents walking the field perimeter, there was no way to get a shot without some random people included.  Home plate is behind him.

Tom was taking the pictures, so here I am making an appearance on the blog.

And my arm.

Our seats were way up high.

Leo wondered why we were so far away.  We bought our tickets through our league, so we sat with them.  It was a little hard for Leo to get into the game.  I'm not sure if that's because he's five and baseball can be a little complicated, or because it's not as fun to watch little ants on the field.

Smart daddy brought binoculars which were very useful.

It was also fun to sit with friends.  This is little Max.

They sang America the Beautiful during the 7th inning stretch.

Overall it was fun day at the ball park.

A fun day for the whole family.
