The five siblings pose in front of the Yankee Stadium
A few months ago, my brother messaged the family to tell us that the SF Giants were playing the NY Yankees on my birthday. Since this would fall right smack in the middle of my scheduled US trip, I eagerly said yes to watching the game. Soon, all my other siblings decided that they too would watch. Before we knew it, we bought the tickets and we were set.
So, on Saturday, Sept 21, Inday and her siblings took the train and headed to the Yankee Stadium. It was my first time to visit the new stadium. I never even got to visit the old one. We posed for photos in front of the stadium before heading in to our bleacher seats.

I had been saving up for new zoom lens for my camera and got a good deal, thanks to my stepmom deciding to sell her zoom lens. So the new lens made its debut at the game. I took lots of photos of the field and my favorite Giants players.

After the Yankees scored 3 runs and the Giants were at 0, we decided to walk around the stadium. And what happened? The Yankees hit a homerun and my brother, the one Yankee fan in the whole family missed it. We kept walking around, stopping every few minutes to check out the game. We bought snacks, shopped for souvenirs and posed for pictures.

But more than just the fun of watching the game, it was that we were watching the game together. My siblings and I live in different parts of the world, so gathering for this weekend in New York was truly special. Unfortunately, our youngest brother wasn’t able to join us due to school commitments. My other sister in law was also absent. But nevertheless, being with this crazy bunch still made this a memorable birthday. What would have made this birthday an even bigger winner? If the Giants won the game…
We had so much fun that we’re already talking about making this sibling trip an annual event. My oldest brother will celebrate his 50th birthday next year so we’re trying to decide what sporting event, in which part of the world we will watch on his birthday. Other suggestions were a cruise or a visit to the South of France. Am looking forward to the Inday photo-ops that will arise from that vacation.
That’s all for now….bow.
