let's go dbacks!!

no we weren't all at the game last night, just chris.
this shot is from a couple weeks ago.

did you know this dude is at every single game? dressed as superman.
i finally got a picture of him last game we were at.  just cracks me up.

john loves the 'sandlot'.  and i love taking him there.  i don't mind it one bit.
i love watching him play...he always does the same thing at this play area.
runs to the same slide every time, goes down, runs to the steering wheel and
spins it as hard as he can with one hand, then goes back up the stairs to the slide.
then repeat, repeat, repeat, for the entire allotted playing time.
and he is so focused, in a such complete zone, it is quite hilarious.

all the kids line up when their time is done and wait for their parents to get them out of line.
there's always a child who ends up sad while playing and the mom is nowhere in sight.
the supervisor yells is 'so and so's mom here?'
no response for a couple minutes and then it takes a couple more minutes for her to show.
i'm always surprised at parents walking away from these young children.
and feel so bad for the kids when their mom isn't right there when they need her.
i stand glued to the little half wall watching john do his little playtime routine.

john spotted the shaved ice on the way back to our seats, but they only took cash.

i didn't have any on me, so i told him we'd go back.

so, we got some on the way out and let all 4 kids go at it.

we did clean up that spill on the floor before we left.

let's get another win tonight, dbacks!
