Take me out to the ballgame!


Monday night Matt and I took McKenzie to her first Mariners game! She did great at the game and was so happy to be riding around in the backpack looking at people. Matt carried her the entire time which made me very happy. We only stayed until the fourth inning but considering she is usually asleep in bed around the time the game started she did great.

There weren't many fans at the game and we never actually went to our seats. We just kept walking around watching the game from different points around the stadium. We went into the kids team store and bought McKenzie a very cute little Mariners' outfit - mostly for the little hat it came with. Too bad it didn't quite fit once we got it out of the packaging... it sat up on McKenzie's head like a little top hat.

Matt and I had Dixie's BBQ and decided we didn't need to meet the man - McKenzie was happy to shake a bag of potatoes chips around up in the backpack since she ate dinner at home. It was a great night for a game and I bet we'll make it down for a few more this season.

If you arrived in time for the start of the game then you saw all the mariner's scoring in the 4 innings that you were there (SEVEN runs! :-)
And that was enough to win (7-3) against Texas on that night.
That's what I love about Safeco Field, you can watch the ballgame from anywhere in the house. It's really fun to just wander around and soak it all in. Glad you had a good time, and McKenzie's first Mariners game was a win :-)

What kind of backpack is that? I am jealous! It looks comfy. And what a fun outing! :) Love, Mandy
