Giants and MiniFigs - Part Two

Saturday morning of our trip began with another walk, all the way to another hotel where we could pick up our rental car for our day trip to LegoLand.  There was kind of a wait at the Enterprise counter and the guy working felt bad.  When he saw the two boys I had in tow, he upgraded us to a car a little different than the one I'd reserved!

Somebody didn't want to give it back....

We had finally arrived in LegoLand - along with everyone else in the world, it seemed!

Tommy enjoyed seeing the MiniLand, particularly all the Lego Star Wars stuff that had been added since our last trip 3 years ago!

The park was so crowded, we didn't really ride more than 1 or 2 rides.  Tommy did a few of the interactive activities and we walked around a lot.  In the end, he had the most fun shopping with the birthday money he'd been given.  He picked out a big Star Wars X-Wing to assemble and this book.  Once he got the book, he didn't want to look at anything else in the park.  He asked to sit and read it somewhere.  We decided that it was time to go, and so he read on the way home.

We didn't have tickets for Saturday's baseball game, so we did have to find a restaurant that was showing the game.  We tried to eat slowly and stayed as long as we felt we could, but eventually gave up and listened to the rest on the radio in our hotel room.  Good thing.... the game went to 12 innings!

tough life...

Sunday brought a day game and we did have tickets for that.  It was a beautiful day and we were blissfully in the shade!

No batting practice on a Sunday with an afternoon game and a 12-inning game the night before.  But we stood dutifully behind the dugout for a long time hoping to catch a glimpse of anybody.  Bochy waved and saluted at Tommy, which was very exciting!

We tried everything to help, but the Giants just couldn't win a game against the Padres that weekend 

It was a long day, and a long weekend made longer by the sequester-induced flight delay on the way home.  But our Sunday evening flight was full of orange and black wearing, weary Giants fans, heading home and back to work/school bright and early the next morning!
