We had a quick getaway over Father's Day weekend. First stop, dropping Lollipop off with Grandma and Papa (thank you!!!) And how happy does Lollipop look? Samantha held her the whole ride down.
We scored awesome seats and an awesome deal off of Craiglist.
Yes this is imature but it made me laugh ;)
Two hot dogs fed the whole fam ;)
Fireworks for home runs were a hit with the kids.
That is me holding the beer even though the trick photography makes it look like Sam is ;)
Holy (expensive) junk food! That's what you do at a baseball game though, right?
Thatcher says YES!
The kids were more obsessed with the food vendors coming up and down the aisles than the game.
We were burning dollar bills left and right....
Cracker Jack prizes are not what they used to be when I was a kid, and why are they in a bag now, what happened to the box?!
Thatcher was not impressed with the baseball trivia. That's a prize?!
That would have been a killer shot if that was a baseball. It's a beach ball. Which was probably right behind the food vendors as far as what the kids liked most.
And yes, we took home that deflated beach ball as a souvenir.
Angels beat the Yankees!
We headed back to the hotel after the game for a bite to eat and then some night swimming.
Bonus, we got to see the Disneyland fireworks from our hotel.
Not happy campers that the pool closed.
That a girl Samantha turning her frown upside down!
And then the craziness began. This is typical for our family when staying in a hotel. The kids just go nuts!
Hotel = fun sugar-filled cereal for breakfast!
I would have had to stay in the hotel gym all day to burn off what we ate at the Angel game but at least I burned off a beer or two, maybe....
We spent Father's Day lounging by the pool celebrating this guy ;)
I made iPhone shades.
Later we headed to Newport Beach for some Crab Cooker.
And we rented bikes and rode along the boardwalk.
Thatcher did awesome navigating around on his two-wheeler. You can't tell but most of the people are not "cruising" on their bikes and it got really crowded at different times. People are going pretty fast, weaving in and out of the lines.
The kids biked right to the park for a little break.
Then back on bikes we rode.
Ice Cream!
And then yes, BOTH of the kids were interested in riding the bull shark.
I should have gotten the crowd surrounding these two while riding the shark. It was a ton of tourists snapping photos. I could tell Samantha was getting a little nervous when the shark started moving too fast and Thatcher was barely hanging on.
Alas, time to head home.....
But first, special gifts for daddy.
One OUT
Two OUT
Successful trip ;)
