The evening was perfect and highly documented... by the end of the night I had taken more pictures than the entire week of camp combined. Here are a few:
Ezra loved watching the game and caught right on to the thing by shouting "Throw duh bawl!" at the pitcher every other second or so. What a heckler. We shamelessly tried to get Ezra on the mega-tron screen by lifting him above our heads and shaking him around when we noticed that they were filming people in the stands who were dancing. No such luck.
After the game (which our home team was losing MISERABLY when we left) we walked around downtown for a while and stopped to get Ezra a balloon sculpture. The young guy making the balloons asked us what we wanted and I said, "Whatever is easy!" at the exact same time that Chris said matter-of-factly, "A BOAT."
"A boat?" The kid asked trembling. Sweat began to form on his young brow.
"A boat?", I turned and asked Chris. "Why a boat?"
"I dunno." Chris said. "Ezra likes boats, right?"
"I guess so... but Ezra also likes things like SNAKES and SWORDS, honey."
We stood there for the next few minutes while the poor balloon man attempted to make a boat, using nothing short of 80 balloons to accomplish this feat. The line behind us grew longer. The boy's mutterings under his breath became more frequent. His hands became shakier and shakier. Finally, we had a balloon sailboat. That could also double as a hat. Hopefully the two dollars that we gave the balloon guy will cover the cost of materials he used to make our ginormous boat hat balloon contraption. It is doubtful, however. Very doubtful.

Q: HOW MANY PIXELS DOES YOUR CAMERA DO?
Your pictures are all so crisp!
Ezra is adorable. and it looks like he had a blast!
first OMG your hair is GORGEOUS!!!!!! second what are Chris's tattoo's of?
Piper: Chris and I almost died of laughing when we read your comment. You are so very funny, it kills me.
I have an 8 megapixel camera. It is the Canon Powershot A630. Some of the sharpness and color correction comes from editing the photos in iPhoto after I take them.
Hope that helps! hugs!
Oh! And Shannon: Chris Has the words LOVE and FAITH down the backs of his arms, and a vine wrapping around his arm that comes from the Bible verse (in the book of John) that says : "I am the vine, you are the branches..." He also has two tattoos on his wrists in Arameic that say "Eternity" and "Sacrifice." Hawtness. We also have matching lower back tattoos. *aww*

That balloon hat story is hilarious! The hat looks like he's wearing a stack of sausages on his head. Welcome home!
Excellent Boat-Hat! I think you got your two dollars worth.
LA Toddler went to a Dodgers game once, had a hotdog, but was not impressed. But... she's a little older now. I think we'll have to try again here soon before the new baby comes.
