Take Me Out to the Ball Game... Again!


So, we might seem a bit obsessed. Last weekend we packed up and went to two of the three Mariners vs Red Sox games here at lovely Safeco Field. Unfortunately the games were set to begin about 10 minutes after Lily is usually in bed. Oh, well. Priorities! She held it together for most of the Friday game, but after a homerun was hit into the stands just two sections down, Lily decided for us that it really was okay to head home in the 7th inning. The next night was much better. She got to sleep in and enjoy her Saturday morning in leisure. And, we got to see friends for the game!

We met up with the Kaspareks to cheer on the Sox. Everyone was decked in in some sort of Sox gear. Well, all except Andy. I melted his favorite hat on our kerosene heater back in Japan and he is yet to find a hat he likes quite as much.
Not only did we get to enjoy the game with friends, but we took a small walkabout and visited cousins Sam and Ted and family who were all there to enjoy the game with an aunt and uncle from out of town. Yes, that is Lily trying out her very first french fry. Then, we headed down and said hello to my friend Michelle who's husband just happened to throw out the first pitch of the night. I'm still not sure how he got that gig, but am definitely envious. It was one heck of a weekend!
