Flat Scott at a Mariner's Game

.

Flat Scott had a BLAST at the Mariner's game last night. The rest of us had a great time too! I was so surprised that the girls liked it as much as they did. Rachel complained all the way to Seattle, but she really had a great time at the game. She didn't want to leave. I tried to leave a little early, but she made us stay to the bitter end. She actually wanted to watch the game and asked a lot of questions. Erin Joy kept calling it a "basketball show." "We go watch basketball show" she kept saying. She kept hugging all the people who work there. The man selling programs looked very shocked when she walked right up to him and gave him a hug. I wish she would stop doing that....

(Notice that Flat Scott wore his Mariner's shirt that Rachel made for him and his baseball cap that Erin Joy made for him.)

Rachel wanted the Angels to win because she likes angels. "I don't know what a mariner is," she told me. I told what a mariner was, but she continued to vote for the Angels because she has a stuffed cat named "Angel." Eventually, she started voting for the blue guys because I was voting for the blue guys. She should have stuck with the Angels. When the worst team in the majors plays one of the best, the worst team is bound to lose and lose we did. We saw some great hits, but unfortunately, they were mostly for the Angels. I missed the homerun by Jose Lopez because I was taking a picture of Flat Scott. Shucks.

Flat Scott had a great time. He kissed the Mariner's Moose. He also really enjoyed the children's playground. We played before the game and during innings 3-7. We then explored the stadium and shared an $8.50 ice cream in a Mariner's hat. We also ate $6.50 nachos and $4.25 bottled water. The girls each had a $5.00 "moose bucket" with crunchy hotdogs (I'm serious...the bread was so hard it crunched...the girls left the buns), Cracker Jacks, and warm drinks. Erin Joy had milk and it was disgustingly warm. Rachel had Sprite and it was warm too. They didn't put ice in it and they needed to change the syrup or something because it was flavorless. They ran out of lids so we had an interesting time trying to not spill the drinks. We were unsuccessful. Erin Joy spilled all over herself. It's a good thing we only paid $7.00 for tickets and $5.00 to park because we paid a lot for food.

We didn't get home until 11:00. The girls slept all the way home so hopefully they won't be too tired today.

Flat Scott is on his way to Arkansas to visit with Reese and Monica. I'm sure Monica will report about his continued adventures on her "Flat Vagabond" blog.
