Happy Monday Y'all!
Yesterday we took the kiddos and the grandparents to a Tacoma Rainiers game! It was so fun! Minor league games are great because it's not such a big scale...you know, we love to see the Mariners, but Safeco Field is so huge and you have to have expensive seats to see well, but luckily we live about 20 minutes from Cheney Stadium, home to the Rainiers, and there really isn't a bad seat in the place!
The game was awesome, we won 14-9! The only hiccup in the game though, during the 6th? inning, one of the Las Vegas 51's hit a ball straight into pitcher Steven Shell's face. It was so scary! He went down hard and laid there for about 10 minutes until the strecher was brought in...he lifted a weary hand as he was wheeled out with a towel over his face. The stadium gave him a Standing Ovation...it was just so sad! Poor guy, I hope he's recovering comfortably, I can't imagnie how much that must have hurt!
It was a great day though, it was about 90 degrees yesterday, can you believe it?! What was nice though, as we sat in the blistering heat, the breeze off the water swirled around us in the stadium all day long, which made it completely comfortable to be sitting without the shade.
Here are some pics I took...
Joey staring out into the field:
Jake watching the action...
Lily LOVED the game, she clapped her hands every time there was a cheer in the crowd and shouted "Go! Go!" to the players! LOL!
Joey with his autograph from player 22, Pitcher Andy Baldwin...who was super cute! LOL!
My mom and Dad at the game, love the look on my mom's face, she is way hardcore into baseball, specifically the Mariners, she has Mariners liscense plates even! LOL! Papa was trying to get Lily to wear her hat all day, she finally put it on toward the end of the day...
Jake kept stealing all our hats and wearing all of them at once! LOL!
Here's Lily doing some sort of dance, haha, either that or she has ants in her pants!
Here's me and J! Love this pic of us, I always get good pics of us by holding out the camera, my mom swears all her favorite pics I take of her and me or me and J are all the ones I take just holding out the camera..haha!
Here are the Rainiers high fiving each other, the 51's just ran off the field after they lost, but whatev, the Rainers formed two lines and high fived each other anyway.
After the game kids got to line up and run the bases, so J took the boys down to the field! You can spot J in his orange shirt!So funny, both boys had to hold up their shorts as they ran, my little skinny minnies!
Hope your weekend was a great one too! I will be back later with a layout update, and then I'm taking off on wednesday with J for a little R&R, while my mom takes the kids for two days!
Hugs!
