Go Cards!

A few weekends ago Paco and his Dad took EJ down to St. Louis for his first Cardinals game.  They had a beautiful day and were looking forward to a good game.

They arrived about an hour early for the game and Paco was trying to figure out what in the world he was going to do to fill that time.  That's when they noticed a large group of people down on the field.  They went farther down in the stands to investigate and discovered, much to their delight, that it happened to be picture day at the stadium!  They were able to go out onto the actual field and meet the real Cardinals players.  They were a little late to meet Coach LaRussa and Albert Pujols, but they were able to meet a lot of the others.  Paco thought it was just great to be able to go onto the field.

I "think" this is Jamie Garcia with the guys
OK, correction, after speaking with Paco this is Eduardo Sanchez.  So all Sanchez men!



 Overall, it was in incredible day for all of them.  The Cards weren't quite able to pull out a win, but EJ was happy anyway.  He had a fun day with his Dad and Grandpa and--even better--he got a  huge foam Cardinals claw!
