A Night out at the Rainiers

A while back, Mark and Jonathan decided it would be fun to get in on a little Rainiers baseball action with our families...and then realized how fun it would be if we made a habit of it. Jonathan and I opted not to do the Mariners season tickets again this year (with the arrival of the Wee Ski), and it was a perfect balance of baseball and friends and kids and fun. With Mark's fam and our fam, The DeWeeses (also baseball nuts) and Dave and Kristi, we picked up a package of Friday night games.

We kicked off the season with Friday night's home opener at Cheney Stadium...the wee ones, fireworks and all. It was good stuff. And a much nicer drive home than from Safeco!

Kate, John and Daniel...


Dave and Kristi...


I think Michael must be part of the "I Love You" chain gang. How tough does he look?


Doc, Thomas (cozy in the sling) and me...


Baby Daniel checking out his mama...


Kristi and me, taken by Michael.
Liz, do you recognize the gal in the purple jacket? From swimming at the Y? I got to use the phrase, "Wow, you look different with clothes on!" :)


And I haven't shot fireworks in a while. Here's some interpretive shots, all handheld.




With some abstract fireworks to top it off. :)
