Baseball Game

We had a very full, fun weekend. It started on Saturday. A local radio station was having a contest where you submit stories about your father. We won! Aaron's family has loads of good stories and we finally put one to good use! We won 2 tickets to the Mariners game on Saturday, gift certificates to a restarant, a car detail and 4 tickets to a museum.

As we were waiting to turn into parking at the ballpark, someone walked by and asked us if we needed parking. She gave us a voucher for free parking in the garage! Yay! She saved us $25!

We had a great time. Joel now is crazy about baseball. He pretends to swing a bat, then throws a ball, then runs down our wood floor and slides on his belly by the front door. "I a baysebawl pwayer" --Can you translate? Last night he decided his name was now JJ, which is one of the closing pitchers for the Mariners. He also refuses to use the tee to hit the ball. Because that's not what the baseball players do. That kid is sure head-strong! I'm sure it will serve him well later in life, but it makes our life hard right now!
