Mariners

We try to go to at least one Mariners game every year. Last night was our first (and likely only game) this season. Although it wasn’t the most exciting of games (the Mariners lost to the Kansas City Royals 4-8), we still had a great time and are glad that Grandma and Grandpa Fletcher were able to join us.

This was Jason’s first major league baseball game. I think it’s safe to say he got very little out of the game itself. Instead of watching the game he pointed out each and every airplane that flew over head as well as all the trains the went by. If you know anything about the location of Safeco Field this occupied most of Jason’s evening. In typical Fletcher form it was also all about the food for Jason. With all the kettle corn, candy, and French fries he downed he had enough energy to stay awake until we got home after 11pm – way past his usually bedtime. Jason made friends with a guy sitting two rows behind us and was quite entertained with the silly things he doing to get a reaction out of Jason. Here’s a short clip of Jason doing a little gig for his new friend after the Mariners hit a home run:

When the girls think about going to a game they too look forward to yummy treats. They also enjoy walking around the stadium and playing in the kiddie-area. They even watched some baseball.

Here are the kids meeting the Mariner Moose in his den.
