These pic's are from our 1st Annual Boys Trip! This summer we went to Lake Elsnore, California to watch the California vs. Carolina league all star game. My nephew Daniel joined us for the trip and the boys had a blast. It was a long day, started at 8:30am when we headed out from Surprise to California on our road trip, we got to the stadium as the gates opened for the fanfest and stayed until almost 11pm! The game even went into extra inning, we really got our money's worth! The all star festivities definitely had a big league feel, with autograph sessions from each team, a homerun derby contest and the game ball was dropped from the sky. We had great seats, sitting behind the first base dugout about 5 rows up, not bad for $10. Sammy was definitely tired but made it all the way to the fireworks at the end of the game, which really scared him, guess he's not a big fan of fireworks! He loved the cotton candy, coca cola, hanging with his cousin Daniel, and his favorite part was the Storm's mascot, not sure of his name but Sammy called him a dog, he looked a little like the Philly Fanatic. Sammy still talks about him. This was definitely a quick trip but well worth it. Already planning our 2nd Annual Boys Trip for 2010!!
