5 yrs

Yesterday, the 12th, was our 5 yr anniversary! We had a GREAT day! Greg's mom, Becky, watched the boys while we went to IHOP for breakfast! When we picked up the boys we decided to go to Charlies Safari, which is a family fun center, on our way there I turned around to find Isaac hiding from the sun! This was HUGE deal for me because every time it gets too bright in the car he starts freaking out, kicking screaming, crying...the works. So we were thrilled to see that instead he had figured out to just close his eyes!
After Charlies Safari we came home and our neighbor Allison watched the boys while Greg and I went to a Mariners game! For those of you who know us, you know that we are HUGE Mariners Fans!! At our last Mariners game (now this is MY version of the story, Greg's version is TOTALLY Different!) the announcer mentioned the Hit it Here Cafe and Greg suggested that we go there for our anniversary instead of going to the space needle (which is what we do every other year for our anni.) I jumped on that idea!! He was totally shocked and bought the tickets that night when we got home so that I couldn't change my mind!
Greg's version goes something like this. We were sitting at the game and I looked up and saw the Hit it Here Cafe and then I suggested that we do that for our anniversary and he clarified "Instead of the Space Needle?!" I agreed and we came home and he bought the tickets later.

Who's is true?! Who knows! Who cares! We went and we had a blast!!!

This is one of my favorite views of Safeco Field!

This is the Hit it Here Cafe where we sat! We sat outside on the deck that's off to the left in this pic. We were right in front! It was an AMAZING view and AMAZING food!! Greg had Ribs and this chocolate cake that looked like someone might die from eating it! Sooo good! And I had a chicken teriyaki burger and lavender cheesecake with a fresh peach compote! YUM!!! It was so incredible that we could have such good food at a ball park!

Before we went and sat down (because we were 2 hrs early) we decided to walk around the stadium. We have never done that before because we've never been that early! This is the view from right above the bullpen!

It was Irish Appreciation Day so they brought in Irish Musician and Folk Dancers!

They had a Special Olympics Softball game before the Mariners Game! It was so much fun to watch these kids as their faces lit up to be playing here! It was so apparent that they were thrilled to be interacting with some of the big league players!

FSN's Before and After the Game

seriously! it was like I'd never been here before! we saw so many new things!

The game starts!

Felix Hernandaz is Pitching

We sat right behind Ichiro

Which was great since he kept stretching through the whole game!! Right dear!?

After 14 innings of a 0-0 Game against the Chicago White Sox, they FINALLY brought Griffey out to end the game!

He hadn't played all game and when he came out the stadium rumbled with cheers!

He hit a Single to right field that gave Adrian Beltre the chance to score giving us the 1-0 win against the White Sox

The Mariners.com Website says "The longest scoreless game in Mariners franchise history"

He obviously was tackled! Griffey ran to first base and then straight out into the field!

One of my favorite things about baseball is the obvious feeling of brotherhood between the team mates!

After a GREAT game, 3 hrs, and 14 innings later we Take the win 1-0!!!

It was an incredible day filled with amazing food, from breakfast to dinner, Family time, and by the time it was all over I had NO voice!!
