california day two... dodgers

we ended the day with a dodger game. we sat behind home plate with our season tickets from my dad's work. it was awesome. mike was in heaven the whole time. we cheered and yelled. we were up outta our seats and making a ruckus.

heather and tracie joined us for the game. thank goodness. after they came we got a pleasant surprise from the cotton candy vendor. he presented us with two cotton candy bundles. we were kind of confused to say the least. we politely told him that we didn't buy any and he kindly told us that the gentlemen in the sailor hats had bought them for us.

we laughed and looked back to see our bearers of the gift. we then went over and chatted for a minute and took a picture. i really thought they were in the navy or something. how dumb am i? don't worry heather reminds me. lol. yeah good times. they thought we were with our families. really? seriously? anyways... it was flattering and weird at the same time.

the game was intense in the beginning. there were at least 3 top ten plays during the game. we were down a run and came back in the 9 to tie and go into extra innings. the place was on fire. it was so loud. well as you know we lost. yes its true. oh well.

after the game we got to go down on the field and watch the fireworks.

then it was the long journey home. angelina and talked about how stupid people can be. how much we don't understand how a person could mistreat you after going through so much together. not to mention the shadiness of people's actions. have no fear we also discussed how much has come from the different experiences. and we expressed gratitude for certain individuals and prayers that have come at just the right time. sweet tender mercies from the Lord. i miss her already!

we capped the trip off with trips to the airport on sunday. church at the local single's ward. and a yummy dinner made by my momma! we also exchanged a series of great comical quotes and just had a great time!

  4. Jen, How do you know Quinn Gardner? He went to Highland with me and graduated I don't know the year after me or two. He dated a friend of mine in high school. And I think Elizabeth knew him. I really did not know him myself, but all the younger girls loved him. Said he was a model in Korea or some where.
