Memorial Day

Dear Anak,

This past Monday was Memorial Day and a lot of us working people got the day off. What's that you ask? Here's what Wikipedia has to say about this holiday:
Memorial Day is a United States federal holiday observed on the last Monday of May (May 31 in 2010). Formerly known as Decoration Day, it commemorates U.S. soldiers who died while in the military service.[1] First enacted to honor Union soldiers of the American Civil War – it is celebrated near the day of reunification after the Civil War – it was extended after World War I to honor Americans who have died in all wars.

Mommy and Daddy spent this day by going to a baseball game. Los Angeles Dodgers played against the Arizona Diamonbacks.

Daddy bought 6 tickets from work and we went with your Tio Esteban, Tio Cheo, and the Moreno's (Tina & Jared). They had tickets for their 3 girls and Tina's sister Stephanie came along as well. We had a fun time and the game was tied which was better than losing I guess. We ate and talked and laughed and Tio Esteban and your Daddy had themselves a glass of beer. Here are some pictures from that day:
