Mariners vs. A's

We just got back from the Mariners and Oakland A's baseball game tonight. It was so much fun-a little chilly-but super energetic and fun. My sister, Desi, also came with us as she had never been to a game before. We decided to park far enough away from the stadium so we wouldn't have to pay :) and hoofed it all the way there. Mike was a super trooper and gave Elijah a shoulder ride the entire way. We bought the boys some dinner at the park and found our place right behind home plate on the third level. Our seats were great and we all had a super good time. Ichiro and Griffey Jr. both had good nights. It was also super neat because we saw Ken Griffey Jr. hit a home run (which is memorable in and of itself since he's through after this season). Around the 3rd inning a lady came up to us with a huge backpack and said that we won it because we are awesome!!! Seriously I'm not sure exactly how we won it but we did-it was a huge backpack chock full of emergency supplies for 2. It included a tarp, flashlights w/ batteries, rope, a knife, emergency food and water, heat warmers, a radio, toilet paper, masks, matches, etc...It is really cool. I am going to put it in our van!!! All in all it was a super fun night. A big THANK YOU to Aaron and Juliet and Kingston for letting Brandon hang with you while we enjoyed the game:)
