The Sad End

To the Mariners Season that is.

The boys knew it was coming, but they definitely were not happy about it. To soften the blow just a bit Teage and I decided to use the gift card we got for Christmas (thanks Grammy and Papa!!!!!) to buy the boys some good seats for the very last game of the season. And thanks to Tutu, Emery stayed home for this one so we could focus and have some fun with the two big boys.



We arrived really early thinking we could possibly get some of the Mariners' autographs. We stood right by the dugout and waited for them for over an hour....no show. Sad. Looks like they were having a little pow-wow in the locker room and didn't want to come out until the game started. The boys were a little disappointed because I was so sure they would be a little more lenient with the autographs on the last game of the season. But, they got over it fast. We went and ate a ton of food and they even got cotton candy (which usually is a no no :) ).


They absolutely loved the game, even though we lost. It was really fun to root for our team one more time, and the boys had a blast. And our seats were amazing!! We could see all of the action! Then after the game we raced up to the front of the seats right next to the field....the Mariners came out with some shirts and balls for their fans and the boys definitely wanted to say hello! :) Brendan Ryan walked right by us and said hi, and Miquel Olivo was just a few feet down. In the end, the boys ended up getting 3 major league baseballs from the Mariner batting practise that day!!!! They were so excited!! What a great end to a fun season!!

I was so thankful to be at he game with all three of my boys also. It was so nice to not worry about baby for one night and just focus on having fun. We loved it!
