If there is one thing almost everyone knows about Todd is that he LOVES baseball. He can watch an entire game and then some if he has some free time (which is pretty rare). Being a baseball fan and living in San Diego he is of course a passionate Padre's fan. So to be able to indulge in this love and not neglect his family he will almost always take one of the girls with him to a game and have a fun daddy daughter night. It really is a win-win because the girls have such a great time with him and he gets to teach them about a game he has played starting in his childhood through college. The girls have enjoyed this time so much that they will now even watch a game on TV with him!!
Todd had one goal this past baseball season and that was to get Preston and the rest of the family to at least one game. So he finally made it happen on the last game of the season here in San Diego. So I will admit I was resisting the family outing to the ball park because I thought it would be allot of work and that Preston was to young. I can now admit I was wrong. Let me say it did helped that Todd got bleacher seats. At PETCO park the bleacher seats are situated behind outfield with a huge sandbox between the bleachers and the outfield fence. The sandbox is off limits to adults by the way! The kids had a great time watching the game, dancing to the music, eating hotdogs and playing in the sand. We did not last the entire game but we did make it to the 7th inning. I'll end by saying that I would definitely do it again. Score one for Todd!
