An Angel at an Angel game

I have been meaning to tell about the time G-Momo and I took you to an Angels game for Friday Night Fireworks.  We bought you a red Angels t-shirt to wear so you would be a good fan, like G-Momo and Guffaw.  As we were driving there I explained to you that the Angels' color is red, so fans who root for the Angels wear red.  When we got to the stadium parking lot we needed to walk ahead with me so I could get you a ticket.  You had just turned 3 a short time before this and so you no longer got in for free.  As I was walking rapidly through the parking lot carrying you began identifying cars by their logos.  "That's a Toyota.  That's a Honda.  That's a Ford."  Each time you correctly identified one as we walked by I commended you and you then proudly said: "I know all these cars!"
 
When we got to the ticket line a stadium security guard saw me holding you in line.  He came up to us, commented on how cute you were and asked your Guffaw how old you were.  The guard sort of suggested that if I would just say you were 2 you could get in for free.  I said you were 3 though and we would not say you were still 2, especially since you would know if we said you were younger than you are.  The guard then reached in his pocket and pulled out an extra ticket.  He said someone had given him an extra ticket to give to somebody and he wanted you to have it.
 
We had asked you what you wanted to eat and you had said you wanted Carl's Jr. so I took you to the Carl's Jr. at Anaheim Stadium's food court.  As we stood in line you looked at the two guys in front of us and then said: "Guffaw, those people aren't wearing red!"
 
During the game an Angel hit a home run, which prompted a short fireworks display.  Later, after the game we watched the full blown fireworks show.  As we left the stadium you said you liked the home run fireworks better than the end of the game fireworks.  You were more fun than either fireworks display.
