Mr. Matt turned 26! Typical birthday theme from the M&M LeChem household:
ALL MATT...ALL DAY!
The day began with a German pancake breakfast and lots of present opening!
Matt is becoming an avid tool collector as he's been assembling a lot of furniture and hanging shelves lately.
We played some Tennis and catch at the park, and then we topped the afternoon of with Linner at Maccaroni Grill.
Then...We went out to the ball game at Dodger's stadium.
It was my first Major league ball game. With Brett as my brother, I've seen my fair share of little league, but never a major league game.
Of course, Matt had to bring his glove, hoping to catch a home run ball!
The atmosphere was classic. They have a real organist, not a recording, that plays take me out to the ball game. There were the peanuts...and the cracker jacks...and the Dodger Dogs. I rarely eat hot dogs, but on this occasion, in order to complete the experience, I ate my very own Dodger Dog. Plus, it happened to be Farmer John's 80th anniversary, so they were only a dollar!
It was so fun to sit with Matt, and be captivated by how dang fast the pitcher can throw the ball and how by some miracle the batter is able to smack that bullet to the outfield. Pretty amazing.
I must say I did have a few nerves going to this game....everyone kept telling me to be careful. I was afraid of getting beat up. But, I was pleasantly surprised. The fans were very nice and there are a LOT of police :)
And of course...Had to have The Boston if Matt's having a birthday.
We had a few friends over to share Boston cream pie and Ice cream.
(Kick'n back with tummy's full of Boston)
Happy Fun, Yummy, Safe birthday Matt!
I love Matthew's UCLA Dental School shirt!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you guys had fun!
when I saw your comment on our blog I knew there must be a new LeCheminant post. Sure enough. love to see the updates. I'm just wondering who that little kid is on matt's lap. doesn't look like Ivan, so i'm wondering what he'd doing there! :) j/k I guess other little boys can play with matt too. You're hair seems like it's getting super long, is it? can't wait to see you guys again. Jealous of your trip coming up in 2 days
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Matt! I love the confused look at Tangled. Such a fun movie though. My professor taught me this trick to do to my students that has to do with eye-hand coordination. He says it works as long as they don't play baseball, because their reflexes have to be so fast. Your comment about the pitcher and batter reminded me of that. Pretty cool you got to go to a professional game!
