LET'S GO HAWKS!

Brad is on a roll with his work raffles! We scored another set of Winterhawks tickets - this time for Round 2, Game 4 of the playoffs.

We've gotten used to this view!

We got playoff rally towels:

We had a good lead... and then lost it in the third period...

Tie game at the end of regulation. A 15-minute intermission, then a 20-minute, sudden-death overtime period. (rule book)

With 4:11 left in the 4th period, HAWKS scored!!!!!!!

It was WAY past our bedtime, but we had a blast - what a great game!

This weekend is jam packed, but I'm hoping to have the energy to go to Saturday's Game 6 😀

GO HAWKS!!!

Mariner's Home Opener!

Mom, Eryn, and I made the trip to Seattle for the Mariners Opening Day 2025!

It was spring break, so a midweek night game for these school workers was no big deal. 

There were tons of opening-day festivities.

Great seats down the first-base line:

Ballpark nachos are a must:

Rally Monkey enjoyed the view, too:

It was a really great game, ending with a double play.

Mariner's Win!!

They never win when I'm there! What a treat!

Such a blast to be there for Opening Day!
