The Baseball Bonus

Bart bought us all tickets to see the Mariniers play the A's. (Thanks Bart!!) We got lucky and it did not rain that day. We just got to go through the hot and then cold wether system over and over again. We were happy to be dry though! I got to embarrass Karlie and it did not even take much. She did not like me standing up dancing and would pull me down. She even tackled Kody to get him to sit down. We had a lot of fun. In the bottom of the 9th the Mariniers tied the game up with a home run. We then got to watch a total of 15 innings before the Mariniers finally won the game. "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" was sang twice and with all the people that kept leaving we were able to sit about 10 rows up by third base for the last little while. Now those are great seats, but people that can afford them also can afford the food, because it was a mess down there. It was funny, the seagulls know when the game should be over and they start circling the field during the 9th. Well they got very impatient and were starting to get lower and lower. The guy a few rows down from us got a nice surprise land on him and some barely missed my mom. They were really getting anxious to eat. The game lasted 5 1/2 hours. How often do you get bonus baseball..... It was so much fun!! I loved every minute of it!! It was so fun having Mom, Bart and Tay here. We had a great time and we were sad to see them leave!
