Mariners Win!



Dad and I could not decide what we were going to do since we both had 4 day off. Friday morning dad booked us a hotel and bought tickets for the game and by noon we were off! The weather was terrible and we went through l rain, wind and hail to get there. It was so loud because it was coming down so hard and so fast. It was crazy. A few miles further down the road it would be dry, then tracheal rain and hail. By the time we got to Tacoma we tuned in to the Mariners station and they were saying what a great day for a ball game. Really? By the time we hit the spot where you can see Seattle while on I5 it was beautiful. Big white puffy clouds sun shinning and no rain. We checked in to the hotel, got our long johns on because we knew it would get cold, and walked to the stadium. We had dinner, $6.00 hotdogs and $4.00 drinks. In this picture we are wearing the Elvis sunglasses. It was Viva Las Vargas Night. The first 10,000 people got sunglasses! They opened the roof and we were a little nervous. We had nothing to worry about. It was a beautiful night and we were in the best seats, and had a great time. + the Mariners won. It was so fun! As we were walking back to the hotel with 33 thousand of our closest friends we saw a bunch of Utes with Yankees hats on! Go Cougars and Mariners! It was probably the closest game for them and they were staying in the same hotel. There was one or two BYU fans in the cluster and we saw them at Pike place market too.
Any way, we called Grandma and Grandpa and asked if they wanted to go to the game on Saturday and they didn't so we went up and had lunch with them and they headed home. We just relaxed on Sunday and went to church. Today Happy Memorial day to everyone. We remember all those who have touched our lives in the past and have served our country. My dad, Jim's dad, my sister TK, the twins and Ryan. We are truly grateful for your service so that we can have the freedoms that we have today.
On a side note every time I put up a picture it is in the wrong spot. Sorry about that. Later, MOM
