His Beloved Phillies

Last weekend we surprised Michael with a family trip to Philadelphia to see a game and tour the new Citizens Bank park.  He's been a life-long fan of all Philadelphia sports teams.

This precious field is mowed each and every day.

In the dugout

On the field?...NOT!!!
 only the dirt around the "ondeck" circle.

But he DID touch it and if you ask he will show you the
grass clippings that he plucked from that area.  Bad Boy!!!

This is what we did while he was touring the stadium.  
It was hard workbut someone had to
keep those beach towels from flying around in the wind.

After our afternoon naps we went back to the stadium, it was just a block away from the hotel.  Great planning, I must say.

After a long game with no action, the Phillies scored
a run and won the game.
