Boys in Los Angeles

While the girls were partying at home in Vegas, the boys were heading to L.A. for a sports weekend to celebrate Clark's 12th Birthday.  Joe and Ben took their sons to Angels Stadium to see them play the NY Yankees on Friday night.  The Robinsons are die-hard Yankees fans and the Stuarts are die-hard Angels fans so although they were cheering for opposite teams, they came together in the car ride there and back singing to Neil Diamond, eating snacks, and talking baseball.  Friday's game was a boring one but the Angels ended up winning by 2 runs.  Stuarts, rub it in!  That evening (actually morning because it was 1:00 a.m.) they hit Denny's for some food to celebrate Ben's passing of the boards.

Saturday morning they slept in, grabbed some breakfast, walked around downtown and visited the Chinese Theater, bought some sports paraphernalia at T-Shirt Outlet, and then attended the football game of University of Utah vs. University of Southern California.  Again, the Robinsons suffered the loss when the Trojans beat the Utes.  Joe was going to wear his BYU garb to the game but Ben's warning of getting beaten got the better of him and he decided to go neutral.  However, Joe was secretly pleased when the Utes lost.  When the game was over, the boys headed back home and arrived at about 3:00 in the morning.  What a great weekend for Clark!
