The New Blue...


 ...appears to be as bad, or worse, than the Old Blue...which is good for us!!  A losing Dodger team means cheap seats for the family!  Without a lot of traffic we can head to the stadium with plenty of time to play at the park down the street from the parking lot, toss around the football and volleyball, eat some dinner and still get into the park in time to be one of the 150 fans that are there in time to hear the National Anthem.  Seats in Row A of the Loge section for 8.99?  Can't beat that!


 Probably my favorite part of going to Dodger stadium is listening to Vin Scully on the loudspeakers outside and through all the main areas inside.  It's impossible (even for Giants fans) to hear Vinny and not immediately think and feel BASEBALL!
Some of you reading this blog may wonder how/why my children are wearing LA hats posed in front of the LA sign.  Despite the smiles, this was most definitely under protest by the 3 oldest.  There may or may not have been Red Vines and candy hanging on their wearing these hats. ( Also, we told them what happens to people who root for the Giants at a Dodger game...j/k lol)


 This girl had a blast!  She loved the noises, the colorful crowd, the clapping and took a long nap through innings 3-7 (much like the Dodgers).
 Derek was in it for the snacks.  However, don't say Dodger games aren't fun.  Where else do they do the wave...EVERY INNING???  Where else can you count no fewer than 8 beach balls throughout the stadium at any given time?
 "Mom!  Stop it!  Don't take a picture of me in this hat!"
 Trying to get a beach ball from below.

Future and present Dodger fans.  Our poor Dodgers lost another one this night, but that was all right with us.  When you're standing up with your kids singing during the 7th inning stretch with 10's of 1000's of other ppl, life feels about as happy as can be!

  1. Cute pictures! Even the family pic where you're half cut out - what's up with that? We'll forgive you for being Dodger fans. By the way, you know what the difference between a Dodger Dog and a hot dog at a Giants game? You can't get a Dodger Dog in October! BOOM!

  2. Great pictures, Sara! I don't care if they are blue or orange----cutest kids ever! Sounds like so much fun with the park, the games, the baseball and snacks, the wave and the beach balls----not to mention the crazy price! ( And Brooke slept for four innings?)

  3. Dodger games are cheaper than a matinee? Sounds like a perfect, cheap family activity.

    Don't tell anyone I said this but I love a blue Dodger hat on just about anyone - especially those blue eyed cuties of yours. I happen to be a Giant's fan that isn't so keen on the colors black & orange. ;)

    Can't wait to see you all soon.
