The Oakland Athletics

Aaron and i have always wanted to get in as much Bay Area stuff as we can while we live here, because we know this area is only temporary for us. Needless to say, we haven't done very much stuff in an effort to take in everything the Bay Area has to offer. Thankfully the Holt's are there for us. They got free tickets to the Oakland A's game from their Bishop and invited us to go with them. Stuff is always better when its free, right? Especially if the seats are 15 rows back and behind home plate.The weather was perfect, warm but with a nice cool breeze. It was a little deceiving because the weather was so cool when we left, we didn't even think to put sun screen on. Poor Aaron was sitting on the end of our row and the right half of his body got completely fried
I'm pretty sure that i still know nothing about baseball, but i made sure to clap when other people were clapping (you know, do what everyone else does and pretend like you know whats going on). It was nice to go and watch a little baseball, chat with friends, eat more than we should have and play with little Ella. We can now check that box off of our Bay Area To Do List. Thanks Holt's!

Well of course!!! Ella got a little sunburn too on one arm too, poor girl, poor girl couldn't keep her arm covered! Oh and did you go look at the website to see the picture? I just did, it's great! No way am I paying 12 bucks for it though!
