Oceanside, CA

Train ride to Padres game! Kids were so excited to go on a train! We sat on the second level..goes right along the coast so it was beautiful!

PETCO PARK

San Diego, California

San Diego Padres vs. Colorado Rockies

Another little field...Austin loved it, but it was a much longer line here so only 1 at bat!

Dads have to try pitching too!

Another fun story: While Austin was in line earlier for the little field batting, Katelynn and I were watching from the outfield fence. One of the promos guys came over and asked which one my son was and where we were from...got to talking and he was actually flying to Duluth next week. I told him about our stadium ventures and he asked where our seats were and wrote it down. I wasn't sure why, but in the 5th inning he came to get us...we weren't sure where we were going, but followed. We stopped at a stand and he gave the kids Padres hats (I thought that was the extent of it!)! Then he told us since we'd been to so many parks he wanted to make our time at Petco stand out....so the kids were going to go on the field and throw balls to the crowd! You should've seen Austin's face!! So he had us wait a few minutes down the left field line and then took the kids for a 1/2 inning down by the field (thankfully a short 1/2 inning!). We were able to go down and do video and pictures. They had a blast throwing balls and t-shirts to the fans!! Katelynn must have been excited because her first ball went right to the ground! They did great after that! What a TREAT! That will definitely stand out!

On the train ride home we were talking with another baseball fan and he said he'd been to a number of games and has never seen kids help out with that before! We felt SOOOOO lucky! We have really been treated SO WONDERFUL out here! AMAZING!

Heading back to the Trolley-then train after the game! I really want to come back and explore San Diego sometime..looks like a really cool, fun city!!
