Quakes.

This past weekend my parents and I drove to Rancho Cucamonga to visit my brother, who is playing in the California League in the Angels organization. Rancho is quite an interesting place, but we had a lot of fun. It greeted us with probably the best mall I've ever stepped foot in and beautiful weather (minus the smog). It also contained more pregnant women, tattooed women, and obese people than I am used to. It was so weird! I asked my dad if he noticed the same thing, and he agreed. So odd! While Kyle was at the field, we would shop. I unintentionally cleaned up with 2 beautiful dresses from Ralph Lauren (I benefit from my dad only wearing Ralph) new jeans and lace sweater from Nordstrom Rack, and a shirt and skirt from H&M. There was also a JCrew outlet and I really thought I was in heaven. (Jenna, we HAVE to go.) At night we would go to Kyle's game and then dinner after.

It was so fun seeing Kyle in action. He's been playing with the Angels for two years and I have only ever seen him play in Spring Training. Minor league baseball is a seriously tough business. Games every single day, players being released, new drafts, people constantly moving between leagues, etc. There are people telling you how wonderful you are doing, along with people threatening you with being released along with telling you, you suck. I just hope Kyle can get his break. He's got the toughness, brains, and talent for it. I couldn't be more proud of him. Keep him in your prayers!

The stadium was absolutely beautiful. There is nothing better than perfectly cut grass, the smell of hot dogs and popcorn [contained within the stadium], and a well pitched game. (Some probably beg to differ, but I can guarantee nothing is better!)

Kyle's teammates are all really great guys who are so nice and funny. It was a really fun weekend! I am looking forward to going back next weekend :]

The D I S G U S T I N G smog! There's mountain in there somewhere!

Go Kyle! That's so fun you got to see him play.

My cousin Brady and his wife are moving to Rancho Cucamonga this summer. I'll give them a heads up about the abnormally random residents that live there. haha.
