Three months ago I planned to take my boys to a Tigers game without telling them. I wanted it to be a surprise. However, good tickets were so hard to come by cause the Tigers were so hot. In addition, I wanted to go to a day game cause I wanted to pull the boys out of school to go to the game. But the plan went south due to no tickets available other than nose bleed seats. How cool will that be to have me show up at the school and tell my boys "Get your stuff son, we're going to the Tigers game RIGHT NOW" in front of their class mates. My wife thought it was a BAD idea to pull the kids out of school but hey...I wanted to be a cool dad :) .
My prayer was answered when the Tigers added a makeup day game on September 11th. I quicky bought the tickets and boy were they great seats...11th row behind home plate! Yeah Baby!!
I picked up the boys in the middle of class today and they were very surprised. We went to the ballpark and had a great time. One of the rules of the Pham family is, when we go to a pro sport game, we must eat all the junk food we can handle. And boy did we...no dinner for me tonight.
Oh and the score was 13 to 6...Tigers got killed!!!

We love your new blog title! That looks great! I especially like the fireworks picture.
It was so nice seeing the boys too. Wow, have they grown.
I am so glad you were able to take the boys to a game. That is great! Not so sure about pulling them out of school (my teacher side speaking here:) lol). No, really, I think that is so cool too, and I am sure it is something they will remember forever!
