Mariners vs Yankees!

Mom bought Dad a Mariners ticket package for his birthday, and Eryn and I were invited to join them for Sunday's game against the Yankees!

The train was booked, so we left town at 8 a.m. and drove up I-5. Traffic was clear, and we arrived nice and early. After finding easy street parking (free!!) and getting kicked out of a Goodwill Outlet and a Grocery Outlet for having backpacks, we entered Safeco Field and wandered around.

I found my seat and enjoyed the yummy, yummy, yummy salad I had packed at home:
Then Eryn found me and dumped her veggie dog on her leg. Ketchup stain - oops!
Then Mom wandered up and dumped one of her fish sticks on the ground. She picked it up and ate it! Ew.
Go Mariners!
Seattle won the first two games of the series, so we weren't expecting a win Sunday.

The Yankees took an early lead, and the innings really began to drag. So what do you do when you're bored at a ballgame? You watch for this guy to leave his seat so you can snap a picture. For some reason, this really made us crack up (we are very mature!):
Then you take a million self portraits:
Rally hats - a last-ditch effort:
It didn't work :(
Seagulls hover overhead throughout the game, just waiting for the fans to leave behind yummies. As soon as the crowds disperse, the gulls swoop in and take over. It's quite the sight!
OK - a couple group shots with the Gorillapod ... then it's time to go home:
Good times :)
