Take Me Out to the Ballgame!

After a 5 year dry spell we've managed to finally take the whole family to a Mariner's Game. Thanks to Auntie Freda and her Forrester's Group for allowing it to happen. All day we were talking it up and finally the time arrived. This was Logan's first game and
Cooper's first since he was 1 yr old (which by way of recollection, wasn't alot of fun.)
Today however We had a blast!

I couldn't get them to stop looking at the Moose long enough for a picture.
They were so excited about going to the game they couldn't stand still .
Logan took a quick break on the stairs,
Finally got Cooper and Logan to stand together with their posters.
The ushers gave the boys a couple of baseball cards each and they would not let them out of their hands. We had pretty good seats because we were in the handicapped section with Freda. It turned out to be a great place for us because the boys could get up and walk behind us and move seats without disturbing the whole row. (And I didn't feel so claustrophobic)
Logan was amazed by the field and "the throwers" (pitcher's in the bull pen). As soon as the first pitch was thrown Logan says, " I want to be a ball player, I want to play too!"

At the top of the 7th inning I had Logan on my lap and started singing, "Take me out to the ballgame," and practicing with him. It's his favorite song to sing, and we also have a bear that sings it, so he's familiar with the song. After a couple of time by myself LJ wanted to practice to...

Finally the time came for everyone to sing...just watch his face when he realizes what is going on.


Did you notice Cooper singing along too?
(No he doesn't walk off, he gets up and stands next to me)
I love having boys! Who cares the Mariners lost.
It was totally worth seeing the smiles and the boys having a great time.

Mariner Boy update:
Logan now goes around the house and at the store telling everyone that he wants to throw the ball like Ichiro.
