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!

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!!!
