Split Squad

Friday we had a split squad.  The boys went to Seattle for a Mariners game and the girls...well, they did what girls do.

After dropping off Dad's planer at the shop for repairs, we went to weee, an asian food market.  We marveled at all the different foods and snacked on cream puffs.  Then a quick trip through the Filson factory and store on our way to the stadium.

The Mariners got back in town from a long road trip on Friday night and kicked off their Father's Day weekend series with the Cincinnati Reds with a double bobble head doll giveaway.  The first 30,000 fans were treated to bobble heads of both Ken Griffey Jr. and Ichiro Suzuki.  We arrived at the park just after 4 p.m. for a 7 p.m. game to find the gates open but the line snaking around the stadium.  Everyone was showing up for the bobble heads.  

With our bobble heads in hand we found our seats, enjoyed the gourmet cuisine of Safeco field (read Garlic Fries), and watched a terrific game.  The Mariners won 1-0 on the back of pitcher Cliff Lee's complete game shut out.  A pitchers dual.

Back at the ranch...Mom and Maggie were having a glorious time.  They went to the nursery and pick out flowers to plant, painted their toe nails, and took a dip in the pool.  Lala joined them for happy hour and a dinner of cucumber sandwiches, strawberries and cream on the veranda.
