AAAAAARIZONA! A-A-ARIZON-UH!
Finally! Arizona is coming to New York. Well, it's about time. I love the Diamondbacks. They're my second favorite team. I can't wait to see people like Shawn Green and himself play. I like Shawn Green. He's Jewish and cool. I think he deserves a mitzvah.
I remember the sprinkler incident last year. Haha! I don't know if I was watching the game at that time, maybe I was, but I'm not sure. And what about when Brad Halsey pitched that shut-out? Incredible!
Every year, my family and I fly out to Arizona to visit our family. There are many restaraunts and places to go to in Scottsdale. The Sugar Bowl is THE BEST ice cream place. It's so pink and old fashioned looking. There's also Sweet Tomatoes, one of the greatest buffets ever. I love their pasta and chicken noodle soup. Their noodles are SO thick! I also really like Los Olivos, a Mexican restaraunt. I still order from the kids menu because, well, I'm a picky eater. =)
There's also AZ88, more of a grown-upish restaraunt, but the diet coke comes in little glass bottles, and the regular coke comes in the old bottle. The waffle fries are good, too.
One of the best things about AZ88 is that they always change the designs on the walls. Sometimes it's squares, shoes, and even phones! The booths also RECLINE!!! And omg, the bathrooms are so rainbowish and freaky. There's a She bathroom and a He/She bathroom. I have never seen a door for the He bathroom before.
When I was four, on my first voyage to Scottsdale, I discovered Build-A-Bear Workshop. Gosh, it was my home. My first bear was a, you know, BEAR named Jessica, and I have nooooo idea where that came from. A few days later, I wanted another one, so I named it David. Now THAT was ironic. I ended up making more the following years, like Rusty, Dustie, Sophie, Snippy, Kozmo, Tiger, Gemini, Bob, Alex, Brad, and my favorite, Carlos. So far, that's thirteen animals! But I'm not done yet. I'm going back this August.
If you have any suggestions for ideas, please comment me!
Arizona holds many memories of mine. Later, I'll post more about places to go, things to do, and such. But right now, I MUST tell you about the game I went to last year.
Over the years, we've gone to many games at Bank One Ballpark, now called Chase field, but I don't care, I'm still calling it BOB. The one I went to last year was the one I cared about the most.
The day we arrived, we were sitting at Grandma's house for no reason, and Tyler, my brother, turned on ESPN. I saw the starting pitchers for that night's game and saw that Brad Halsey, who I really wanted to see, was pitching that night. I was like, "Nooo!" But I got over it.
The following morning, I found out that Javier Vazquez pitched that game, and I was really excited!
As Tyler, Dad and I approached BOB, the ticket people wouldn't let us in because we had "colored drinks" like Diet Coke and Iced Tea. For me, there was water, so HA! Up till this day, we still rant about how we can't bring those drink packets, like that strawberry tasting Crystal Light thingy, into the stadium. Sooo funny..
The game was great, and Tyler got 43823749 hotdogs on a dollor hotdog night. But what was even more funny was this:
There was a floating Pepsi thing with these little stubs falling from it to win some free prize. Where we were sitting, kids were circling around the stub to try and catch it. Before it fell, Tyler got up and HE caught it and he was like "HA!" He went to get the prize, and what was it, you ask? Oh, it was just a Richie Sexson bobblehead, who didn't even play for the D'Backs anymore. I still keep it in my room..!
Another funny moment was when we saw Andy Pettitte (yeah, they were playing the Astros) hit a homerun or something during batting practice. We also tried to get an autograph from Brad Lidge, but, aww. =(
We only stayed until the 6th inning because the D'Backs were already winning, and they took Halsey out. =( But the game was fun! =)
I can't wait to go back this year. We're seeing them play Barry Bonds and the Giants!
Well, later I'll talk about more stuff in Arizona. Remember, if you have any Build-A-Bear suggestions, PLEASE comment! I seriously need help. Tootles!
