Baseball fun!

Yes, this is a Mariners fan dressed in Rangers colors. Oops!

When our usher saw Jacey walk in with her pink mitt she said, "I sure hope you catch a ball tonight with that pretty mitt". She came up right before the game started and gave Jacey this baseball, a foul ball hit the night before that she had been saving to give to just the right kid. Jacey was thrilled........

.....then she said, "quick Mom, hide the ball. I don't want them to know I already have one. They might not hit one to me." So she sat like this for much of the game, waiting for her ball...

When Jacey realized they weren't going to hit another ball to her, she began to get bored. Luckily she found someone to be her friend, as she usually does.

Friend had to leave.... Jacey passes the rest of the time crunching all of the peanut shells into tiny pieces. (Sorry to whoever had to clean up that mess!)

Baseball season is here! Ok, so it's been here for quite awhile, this is just the first time we made it to a game. The timing was perfect- Dan had to come home from school early to pick up our car from the shop anyway, and it just happened to be the night that the Rangers played the Seattle Mariners. Dan called on the way home from school with the great idea to go to the game. We got the kids ready, and headed down to the ballpark for a HOT evening of baseball fun. It was interesting going to a Mariners game in Texas. We went to one the first year we were down here and had a lot of fun cheering for our "real" home team. Over the past 3 years though, we have become Rangers fans! We were a little more timid in our cheering this time, being surrounded by Rangers fans. We didn't forget where our true loyalty is though, and luckily the Mariners won. I realize that Broden is under-represented at this game. He was too busy trying to grab the beer bottles that the guys sitting right next to us had in the cup holders to pose for pictures!
