This last Saturday we had a fabulous day. It was warm, but cloudy, which made for perfect weather to go to the Spring Training fields. We headed over to where the Padres and Mariners play, thinking the day's game was on the main field, but to our surprise, it was not. Even better, the games were being played on the practice fields, which meant we didn't have to pay, it wasn't near as busy, and there was loads of grass space for Graham to explore. Perfection. We took our picnic blanket and camped out with our Chick-fil-A lunch, and enjoyed an afternoon of baseball.
See Graham's baseball? One of the players gave it to him. They reached over the fence and handed him the ball while he and Matt were standing by. Super cute. He loved it, too. He carried it around all afternoon throwing it and picking it up.
When the game was over, we started making our way out of the park and some workers were at the entrance with their little booth selling programs and score cards and whatnot. They asked Graham if he wanted a little baseball hat. It's the cutest little Padres hat ever. Then they gave him a sucker-which he loved. As we were starting to walk away one of the ladies asked if he'd like a mitt! What? Hilarious. So here's lil' G with his new hat, baseball, sucker, and mitt. He really has no idea how lucky he got that day. : )
