Our squadron hosted a Family Day at Petco Park to see a Padres game! The Padres are huge supporters of the military and this day they honored the military kids with a special pre-game activity! And going to a baseball game means two special things to my kids: a trolley ride and a hot dog at the ballpark!
6 years old and still a train lover!
Before the game we all gathered outside the stadium and Padres' personnel and our Commanding Officer escorted 22 VMM-166 kids (and probably about 20 other kids from other military units) onto the field for the pre-game festivities.

I was very proud of my kids who both stood with hands over their hearts while the National Anthem played, unfortunately I couldn't get a picture from where I was standing (plus I was rendering honors too!)
And they're off!!
They line up two lines on each exit to the dugout, my kids were the first two next to the dugout!!
Our good friends "big" Peyton and Preston were there too!
I took a quick video, I wish I could have gotten closer! What an awesome opportunity for our kids!!
And they are done! Way to go kiddos!
After reclaiming our kids, we headed UP-UP-UP to our seats. I honestly don't think I'd want to be anywhere else than the top section with little kids.

Nothing like the nosebleed section!
Loving on my Peyton!! So proud of her! She was the youngest of our group & the costumed Padres mascot walked right in front of her!
When did Logan get so BIG?!?
Both rocking the SD logo tattoos (still are, 3 days later!!)
It was a BEAUTIFUL day for a ballgame! Thank you VMM-166 for taking us out to the ballgame and thank you San Diego Padres for giving my children such an awesome opportunity!!!
