D-Backs

Last year Jared won Dback tickets on the radio which was awesome because he would mostly take James for a boys night. Jared was sad that he would miss out on that this year, then his office decided to get season tickets. We decided to take the 2 older kids to the game last Fri. Anna and I are mostly about the atmosphere and ice cream while James and Jared are really into who wins? Weird huh??! We were walking to the batting cage when we got asked to do a public service announcement. They told us through out the year they would play everyone's on the jumbo tron. I didn't want to be on camera just in case the rumors were true that it adds 10lbs. I don't need that!! So James and Jared were so cute as they were reading their lines. After that, Anna of course got her face painted while James wanted to do the batting cage.

We convienced Anna to do the wiffle ball field and she did. If any of you know Anna, you know that this was the high light of my night! She grabbed the bat luckily the right way and stood about a foot in front of home plate. She swung at every pitch with a smile. She never actually hit a ball but she didn't care.

After the last pitch they ran the bases. As if everyone wasn't laughing already, she ran to third first. OH, ANNA! The laughter that filled the echoing stadium. On the way back to our seats we pass Dan Majerle. I was sure he'd remember me because I got my picture taken with him in the sixth grade, but since he was with his kids, I would save our reunion for a later time! We got our much needed ice cream, sat until the game was over, and watched the fire works.

It was so nice to be able to go with James and Anna we had fun.
