The Angels Game

We had a nice long weekend! Friday we went over to my cousins house to hear about recent ghost stories and give family support, Saturday we went kayaking in La Jolla (pictures to come later :), Sunday we went to the baseball game, Monday shopping, and Tuesday was the funeral.

Four days of sleeping in was great, waking up for work on Wednesday... not so fun.

Here are a couple pictures of the baseball game on Sunday. The Angels played the Dodgers away at Dodger Stadium. Dodger Stadium is pretty amazing, it was opened in 1962 and has that classic ballpark feel. We went with my Dad and Grandpa. It's funny because both are Angels fans even though they grew up in LA. Why is this? Well, apparently the Angels were an expantion team and were called the Los Angeles Angels. They played at Wrigley Field in LA in 1961 before moving to Dodger Stadium in 1962. Now remember the Dodgers are originally from Brooklyn, NY and moved to Los Angeles in 1958 (They formed in the 1890s as the Trolley Dodgers because of all the trolley's you had to dodge around Brooklyn but later they just went by Dodgers). Anyway, in 1966 the Angels moved to Anaheim Stadium and changed their name to the California Angels. Since then, they've been the Anaheim Angels and now back to the Los Angeles Angels (with the added) of Anaheim. So now I finally understand why my Dad and Grandpa have always supported the Angels!

Angels won 10-7!!! It was a great game and a beautiful day.

Luckily we were sat in the shade =>
