Opening Day 2007

Liv and I were taken to Opening Day last year by Tricia's parents, and we had a great time, so we decided to go back again this year. This time around, Mama was able to come with us.



It was a pretty nice day by Seattle's April standards. No rain, some sun, decent temp. We milled around outside the park for a while calling grandparents and aunts and uncles that were going to be at the game, too.



Last year we were in the Terrace Club, but since we were footing the bill this time, we went with left field bleachers. To be honest, its my new favorite spot for watching the game with a kid. You feel really close to the action, and the four spaces we bought were cheaper than three in the upper deck.



Last year, the fireworks were a little intense for Liv. This year, we were right under them, and she LOVED 'em.



Of course, we always need at least one group self-portrait.



Liv cheered especially loud when they introduced her favorite player - ICHIRO!



If the fireworks were her favorite part of the day, discovering the joy of peanuts in the shell was a close and hands-down second. She kept saying "Do I get BOTH of the peanuts?", and I think she was especially tickled by throwing the shells on the ground.

To top it all off, we actually won! Go M's!
