Indiana Folk Visit SD

The Hogue/Wood clan visited us from Jasper, IN to celebrate Isla’s first birthday. We also went to the San Diego Zoo, which was the first time for Isla, Jack, and Mason.

Isla’s First Ballgame

Today Isla went to her first baseball game! It was the Giants vs. the Phillies starting at 6:05 pm. We went with Grammy and Papaw and while we were at the yard, we ran into our friends Nicole & Bo (Phillies fans), and Annie. We were also visited by the Pandaval! Pablo “Panda” Sandoval is one of the Giants fun-to-watch rookies that’s been hitting well this year. After pitcher Barry Zito coined this nickname, a flurry of panda merch flooded the kiosks around the park. Grammy couldn’t resist and gave Isla a stuffed black-and-white cub whose muzzle bears a striking resemblance to Gecko’s. (On a side note, I’ve come to learn that Pablo and I share a birthday! Heh!)
