Take me out to the ball game!




On April 15th, Benny attended his first Major League Baseball game. He saw the Seattle Mariners take on the Kansas City Royals. Mariners won! We had great seats. We were in the family section which is right between right and center fields. (I had a great view of Ichiro, one of my favorite Mariners!) Benny seemed to really like looking at the scoreboard which was right behind us. During the fifth inning we went walking around the ballpark hoping that Benny would take a nap. No such luck! It sure was cold. I don't think the temperature went any higher than 45 degrees and it was windy too. Brad was so cold that he ended up buying a sweatshirt to wear. We bought Benny his first Mariner's Moose and a Mariner's bib. He already had a jacket and t-shirt before the game. Everything was going fine until a train blew its whistle REALLY LOUD and scared Benny to the point of hysterics. I was in the bathroom warming up a bottle for him and when I came out, Brad was doing his best to calm Benny down. (Sorry, Grandpa, I hope this is not a sign that Benny will not like trains.) Anyway, Benny didn't sleep until the drive home. All in all I think we had a good time. Next time we go, I hope it is a lot warmer.
