Ms at the Mariners

Mom was so fantastic & purchased Mariners tickets for us to come home to on Wednesday.  The girls loved the game, its always so entertaining & such a great show.  There doesn’t seem to be a bad seat in the house, we often change our tickets around the stadium, and today we were right behind home plate, albeit on the 300 level…  4 seats, 4 drinks, 4 dogs  – best entertainment for the family!

We had to leave in the 8th inning, so we didn’t see the team blow up at the end, but while they were ahead it was perfect!

Rally Fries at the Mariners

Just in case any of you were watching Fox Sports NW on NASN in Europe, yes that was us getting the rally fries at the Mariners (vs Minnesota - number 1 in the league for the moment)game.

Going to the game has become somewhat of an annual tradition, and a great place to watch a game, even if it is a loosing team. Safeco field is just about the best entertainment you can get. Especially if you get the family 4 pack!

Back to Seattle

Yes we have only been gone 6 weeks & we are already back to Seattle for a bit. Troy had a conference at corporate this week, so we thought we would combine a bit of homesickness, with the transition to our "real" apartment, and Memorial Day weekend for a 10 day visit. Needless to say it was a whirlwind experience, but so much fun... Jet lag isn't so bad going back to the US.

Sunday afternoon was fantastic, a great Mariners game, and then play time at the park with Sean. One of the best parts was the swing, we can't find swings in Paris - I think they take up too much space in a city of 15 million people & judging from the Lord of the Flies at the playground there, swings would be dangerous. Needless to say, Sophia was in heaven & collapsed into bed with a great big smile on her face.

The only one missing was Uncle Brehan, still in Hamburg on his birthday - Happy Birthday!
