Dave got 4 free tickets to the Seattle Mariner's Game from work. We debated about who should go, but since there are 5 of us and I am really not in any mood to go sit for hours on end, we decided to invite a "true" Mariner's fan, our friend Russ Carlson, and me and Brady could go play with Emily and Mirian while the boys did the baseball thing. Carlson's live in Yakima, about an hour from here and on the way to Seattle, so it was perfect. After Tanner's 1st Grade program we headed out. The boys dropped off me and Brady and then headed onward. Dave thought it would be fun, but that the boys would probably get bored after a while and they would come home early. He was wrong. They all LOVED it and were enthralled and engaged the whole time. We made posters for them to hold up and hopefully get on the big screen with, but they didn't. They got first ball game certificates and baseball cards (which Tanner will treasure forever) and of course ate hotdogs at the stadium. After the game they drove back to Yakima and we spent the night and then came home in the morning.
Braden and I had fun visiting and having pizza. Emily and I got a sitter and went and got pedicures (with the awesomest flowers) and then frozen yogurt and a chic flick. It was so fun to have a girls night and not have to hear anyone whine about a girl movie that we both really enjoyed!
It is fun to get away sometimes, and spend time with people we all enjoy!

After the Princess comes, we will have to do this again! It was definitely a needed break for us Carlson clan. Good luck with these next two weeks!
I had SOOOO much fun!!! Those were LITERALLY the best seats I've ever had. It was fantastic!!!!!
Thanks for inviting me. Hope the boys (Dave included) enjoyed themselves. I also hope that Dave didn't reek too terribly of garlic . . . .
