Other than the head-shaving event this Wednesday, Angels Baseball Team donated about 600-700 tickets to the Make-A-Wish Foundation in order to allow new Wish child and his/her family along with volunteers to attend one of their games this Thursday. The Angels played against the Minnesota Twins. Alisha was super excited as this is her first baseball game. She was very involved and asked what every acronym meant (HR, RBI, R, H, E, LOB, etc.). Ashley, unfortunately was a bit restless after she ran out of things to ask to eat. Baseball is surely not up her alley. We were able to convince her to stay through the seventh-inning stretch since it's one of the songs she picked up at school. Alisha, on the other hand, did not want to leave. Much to her chagrin, we had to take off before Ashley threw a tantrum.
On Friday, it was Ashley's birthday. We were able to celebrate her big day first at school. With the traditional birthday circle, Ashley shared her childhood photos by age and treated all the kids in her class to colorful cupcakes. Although we did not host a birthday party, she was given plenty of presents and had her very own Hello Kitty birthday cake! Needless to say, Ashley was thrilled to be the center of attention while sharing her toys with her sister.
Since the baseball game on Thursday had to be cut short, Alisha's pseudo-uncle, Craig purchased tickets to another Angels baseball game on Saturday. The special give-away was a Rally Monkey lunchbox, which will come in handy when we the girls have their individual lunchbox full of picnic munchies for the summer outdoor concerts. The seats were in the nose-bleed section, but we had great view behind home plate. Again, Alisha was very focused on the game while Ashley became antsy. We did stay until the very end of the game as we walked toward the parking lot at the bottom of the 8th to avoid a huge crowd.
All in all, Alisha had a full week that included another visit at her best friend, Angela's house on Sunday.
