we're fans!

We went to Mariner's Fan Fest at Safeco today. While Matt and Mason waited in line for an autograph, Andrew tried on some real Mariner gear, played in a bouncy house, got a balloon sword, played in the play area and waited in line just long enough to see the Moose need a break for lunch (Andrew didn't care but had no interest in waiting again when he returned). After Matt got his autograph, we ran the bases, played catch in the outfield, sat in the dugout and toured the clubhouse.

Andrew must have been super cute tonight because as we were looking at a table with some free junk Mariner stuff, the guy in the booth told us to wait while he grabbed a Griffey backpack and a Gutierrez jersey for him! Then while we we were playing catch, one of their photographers stayed by us for a couple minutes taking pictures. I didn't get info on how to find his pictures but I plan to do a little searching tomorrow - hopefully I can find them.

If you haven't checked this out, we highly recommend it. An added bonus - kids under 6 get in free!
