Foul Balls and Fireworks

Daddy got his hands on the company Angel tickets so the entire family plus Bella got to enjoy the Angel game last weekend. The Angels lost but it was still a great time and we had the best seats I've ever had right behind the Angels dugout 4 rows up. It was a sunny day but we had a nice breeze and a lot of sunscreen. We snuck in some of our own goodies but I did by a couple micheladas for $37. We had a great time and this was the first time ever the whole Graham clan went to a game together. Usually Isella and I or me and 1 of or any combination of the girls go but never all of us together so it was definitely a family milestone.


Last Tuesday a few of Daddy's high school football buddies got together for a couple of beers and memories. Since Daddy doesn't do any kind of social media it was fun to catch up with a couple of friends I haven't seen in 20+ years. Nino still keeps in touch with everyone so he has become my version of Facebook. Whenever I wonder how someone is doing I just ask him. It was especially great to see Raul who moved away right after high school. You wouldn't guess it by the picture of Raul, Nino and I but we were 3 of the famous "Flab 5" offensive line who blocked for super bowl champion Reuben Droughns in high school. I had to cut out a little early since I had a long drive back to Riverside but I really hope we are able to do it again soon.


We stayed home for the 4th this year and enjoyed the awesome fireworks show in our neighborhood. Fireworks are illegal in Riverside so we didn't have any of our own but our neighborhood is known for having the best illegal fireworks. My neighbor across the street smoked a ton of meat and a lot of neighbors came by and we ate, drank and played Loteria. They even had prizes for the winners and even though I didn't win I came away with a bottle of booze because Michelle won a game.


Until next time....

SEE! I told you we had great seats!
