Owlz game

Jason brought home a thing from school when it ended that had a coupon for free tickets to an Owlz game. Ever since my Dad took him to a game in WA last summer and then again when he came after Liam was born Jason's been wanting to go to another game. I had him invite a friend and we headed out Friday after our day at the pool. Our seats were just in the grass and I wished I had known that so I could've brought a blanket to sit on, but the boys didn't seem to notice. We were right in front of 3rd base looking down the baseline towards 2nd. We got to see a batter break his bat and it flew past 3rd base towards the outfield. We were right by where they went onto the field for the little stuff they did between innings so that was interesting. About half way through the game they announced that Colin Raye was going to sing. Well...no one even clapped or anything. I didn't because I knew it was a "talent night" and anyone could come do their talent and I just thought that it was some guy with the same name that happened to be singing. It wasn't. It was the real deal. He sang God Bless America after the 7th inning. We were pretty close to him when he was waiting to go onto the field, but there were security guys in front of him and they weren't letting anyone nearby so I couldn't get a very good picture. I was probably only about 10 ft away from him though. It was a fun time and I think Jason had fun even though he had to go with his boring old mom. :)

This is Jason eating his nachos WITH jalepenos. He ate the first jalepeno and his face got all red and his eyes watered, but he kept eating them. Must be a guy thing.






This is Colin Raye coming off the field after singing. He's holding a little girl...don't know who she is, but I'm assuming she's related to him somehow. Sorry it's so far away. I was really wishing I'd chosen a camera with more zoom while taking this picture.




We didn't stay to the end of the game, but I got this picture of Jason and his friend. They bought themselves a souvineer baseball so when I asked for a picture they decided they wanted to be "throwing" them in the picture. Anything to get a picture I say.
