The next best thing

Here we are in Seattle now and it's baseball season. Should we stay inside and pout, wondering what it would be like to watch the Yankees in their new stadium? What's the use in crying when we now have the Mariner's to watch!? I know, Tim, it's not the same as the Yankees. However, you told me you will be rooting for the Mariners as long as the Yanks aren't in town. (By the way, he already has tickets for that game!)

Tim must have a little Mariner fever and got tickets for several games this season. Last Wednesday we went to our first one! It was Audrey, Celeste, Sophia, and Natty's first time at Safeco field. In celebration, customer service gave us all sorts of free stuff...baseball cards, pennants, and even a t-shirt for Tim and I. Mine says, "#1 Dad" on the back. I guess they had a lot of left over size medium father's day shirts! The girls got hats so they will be ready for rest of the season when they get their daddy/daughter dates at the ballpark! It was a little chilly that night, and Sophia is sporting her double hat look.Go Mariners!

Nice tongue Becky!

My first baseball hat!

It was fun to celebrate the return of Ken Griffey Jr. to the Mariners. We also enjoyed having Tim's co-worker, Dimitri with us. What a great first game...2 home runs, 1 grand slam (Mariners 11, Angels 3).
