Mormon Night at the Padres

We have been looking forward to this night for a few weeks. Anytime we have an excuse to go see a Padres game as a family we are in. So tonight the Padres recognized Mormons before the game and most everyone had on their "Mormon Helping Hands", a service activity that we had done in the community a little while back. It was a great opportunity for the LDS community to be recognized in front of thousands of people. We were actually encouraged to go to this event from the First Presidency over the pulpit. I am sure that will be the only time we hear over the pulpit from the Brethren to go to a Padres game. Pretty Cool. So we went as a family and Slade tagged along. Everyone had a fun time. Brayden really was into the game and recognized foul balls, strikes, hits, and even a home run. It was fun to teach him some of the basics of the game. Connor was also really excited and even did the pitching motion for a good 30 minutes of the game. The video is below for all interested. He kept saying "ball", which is no different from when he is home. We had peanuts, saw and talked to a bunch of our Ward members, and sang "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" before we left. It was a lot of fun.
