Baseball Saturday

Our Saturday, May 17th was filled with baseball. Garrett played his Little League game in the morning. He got to pitch for the first time in a game. He pitched well, but needs to work on his speed. After his game, we told him we were going someplace and that it was a surprise. We went to Seattle and met Kelly's sister Tracey and her husband Jeff. The kids were happy to see their aunt and uncle. We walked to the Seattle waterfront, ate lunch, and looked at shops. When we got back to our cars, Tracey and Jeff gave Garrett his birthday present. He opened up a present which he loved, then he opened a birthday card and read that we were all going to the Mariner game that night. He could hardly contain his excitement. This weekend was Little League weekend at Safeco Field. Kelly, Garrett, Drew, and I waited in line and got to walk in a parade around the baseball field with other Little Leaguers and their families. The game was exciting and the Mariner's won. It was a very nice evening since the high temperature for the day was about 85 degrees. Below are some pictures from our day. At the bottom is a video of Garrett playing baseball.
