Let's Play Ball!

The purpose of the entire trip-BASEBALL! We ventured to Safeco Field to watch two of our favorite teams-the Mariners vs. the Padres. Sarah and Karsten had a great time together before and during the game-K just thinks that Sarah is the best thing ever!

It was a free hat giveaway day for 4th of July. Karsten couldn't decide which team to cheer for so she went for BOTH!

OK, Seattle Children's you are the BEST for funding the play area at the ball park! What a fun place to play...until we had to vacate due to an "accident requiring sanitary cleanup"! Now try and explain that one to a 2 year old!

Even more special on 4th of July weekend!

The first pitch was thrown out by a soldier and Purple Heart recipient headed back to war for his 4th tour of duty. I am SO VERY thankful for men and women such as he that protect our freedoms every day so that my family can do simple things like watch a baseball game together!

This entire thing is made out of plastic baseball bats!

Karsten fell in love with Mariner Moose!

So we went to visit him at his house in the stadium

He still gave her a hug, even though she was dressed in the opposing team's jersey!

A certificate for attending her first Mariner's game

And then she hit the wall...

So daddy found some empty seats in the shade-nice view!

We had a WONDERFUL time at the ballgame and will for sure be returning again in the future.
