AT&T Park - Giants vs. Pirates

We all had a nice little nap after Fisherman's Wharf and before heading to AT&T park for the Giants ball game.  The game was lots of fun but we had a period once we sat down after walking all around the ball park to check everything out, eat & stuff that Mylee was super fussy.  She must have been tired and had some gas.  She ended up throwing up and not sure how it miraculously didn't get on  her or me?  Whew!  Since I didn't have a change of clothes for me.  She we a little better after that but then had  a dirty diaper and I had to go change her and of course Makayla wanted to come too so I had both girls.  It was hard!  But after she got it out of her system she just slept and was fine.  Good thing we really didn't have that many people sitting right next to us and had some breathing room for the girls.  We all survived!  
The girls in their Giants gear ready to go!  Mylee is wearing Makayla's Giant's outfit from when she was a baby.  So cute!  The best little fans ever!
We drove into the game for the first time because of our girls.  It's too hard and too crowded to deal with the public transportation even though that's the easiest way and how almost every gets to the game.  Plus, we never know with two little one's if we will need to leave early so it's just easier to drive and everything be at our convenience.  But boy do they rip you off for parking!  It was $30!  Yikes!   But it was cool to be able to walk to the ball park through a different way to see McCovey Cove and take a picture with the Willie McCovey statue who was a former Giants player.  Must have been a good player if they named the whole Cove after him.
A family picture with AT&T park behind us.  This was such a nice walk from the parking lot to the ball park.
Makayla and the giant baseball mitt!  Again, another item that she sat in when she was a baby.

Our seats were great!  Super close to the field and in the very back row so we didn't have to worry too much about bugging the people behind us!

The Giants girls!  That's Makayla and her new Build-A-Bear Lou Seal!  That's the Giants mascot and when Ry & I attended in our days without kids I always said my kids will have one of those one day and here we are!  He's super cute and she loves him.  He even play "take me out to the ball game" when you press his arm.  This is real special since you can only get him at this ball park.

We left the game a little earlier to beat the crowd since they were losing to the Pittsburg Pirates.  We took our time walking out since there was lots of noise being made so they were making a come back!  A night view of the ball park behind Mak and her new buddy Lou Seal.  We listened to part of the game from here because it got exciting and we couldn't leave it completely and they ended up winning!  Yippee!
