We took Ryan to an Angel game (at Dodger Stadium) on Saturday. We are true Angel fans and each of us had on our Angel jersey, hats etc. I had the great fortune of getting amazing seats just behind the Angel dugout (about 5 rows back). We got there early to watch the Angels warm up. Ryan had never been to Dodger Stadium before - he's been to probably more than 100 games at Angel Stadium. So it was a little different for him. He kept looking for the Rally Monkey ;D Anyway, Ryan was waiving to some of the players standing at the rail of the dugout, and they would wave back - which was so great. Larry asked Ryan if he had to go potty, and he said "yes" (yeah - he hasn't had an accident in two weeks) so up the stairs they went. A dodger fan stopped Larry after a few steps and told him to turn around. Scot Sheilds, a reliever for the Angels, wanted to throw a ball to Ryan!!! There were a ton of kids at the dugout begging for a ball (including our older son, Josh) - but he went out of his way to give it to Ryan!!! Waaaay cool ;D (Don't feel bad for Josh - he has a ton of balls already - and even he thought it was great). We had peanuts chucked at us for wearing our Angel gear - but it was worth it... the Angels won, and we all had a blast!
