Yankees v. Mariners Game

 We went to our 3rd annual baseball game in Seattle on July 25th.  My mom and brother drive with us in the wonderful minivan.  It is a lot of fun even though it is a long drive.

 Abby and Emma kept busy with books, the viewmaster and food.  Abby got Uncle Dave all to herself so she was one happy girl!  Emma got Grammy's undivided attention so she was happy too!  Dan and I got to drive and relax so we were happy too!  :)

 From seeing this sign for the stadium it took 1 1/2 hours to get to the parking garage!!  The only good thing about that was that Emma got a nice nap in. 

 When we see a Gordon truck it makes us feel like Dad is coming along for the ride.  Love you and miss you Dad!

 This year Dan's mom and brothers and Amy and Arden came to the game as well.  All three brothers are die-hard Yankee fans.

It was fairly warm but the girls stayed cool with a strawberry slushy mixed with fresh squeezed lemonade.

 So if you are not aware my mom loves the Marineers and Dan loves the Yankees.  My mom's favorite player is Ichiro and two days before the game he switches to... wait for it... the YANKEES!    So fine if Ichiro gets traded there is not much you can do but to then have to watch him play in his own stadium for another team is just so sad!!  My mom did enjoy the game but it was a little bit of a let down.

 The Yankees won the series 2 to 1.  This was game 3 and they won 6 to 2. 

 YANKEES FAN FOR DADDY!

 MARINERS FAN FOR GRAMMY!

 It was fun to have Amy and Arden at the game with us too!

 Daddy and his girls!

Emma's is my brother's newest fan!  She used to cry when he came near her or looked at her.  We have come a long way!  She is actually fussing in the picture below because she wanted my brother to keep holing her!
