Diamondbacks Game!

My beautiful sister Shannon and my brother in law Zach decided to give me a ticket to a diamondbacks game for my graduation ... we have tried since May to find a time when we could all go and we finally found a day! Saturday we all went and watched the Diamondbacks and the Florida Marlins play! It was lots of fun! We went to Michaels to get craft supplies and hit the jack pot there! Dad and I went crazy on the 10 cent nick knacks! I think that we have kid art projects for the next 10 years! After the baseball game we got to go match Preston perform improv at Jesterz, it was Jordon's first time and the whole day was a blast!

At the game it was 80's day and free Eric Byrnes bobble head night... (suburbian bliss right there)
We won the game! It was 7 runs to 1 run. It was a fun game and our section was the free towel/ you could win a free i pod section! None of us got the free i pod but we all got free towels! It was a lot of fun and I spent most of the game trying to get the perfect shot of Stephen Drew.

Jordon is very happy to be at this SKCABD Game...

This is Zach willing the D-Backs to get one more run so we could all get free Chalupa's from Taco Bell... it didn't happen but he tried to will them to none the less.
Towards the end of the game the screen went to this lady sitting somewhere in the stadium. I instantly knew who it was because I have been Olympics obsessed the last two weeks, and the boys in my house love beach volleyball. Misty Mae Treanor was at the game to watch her husband who plays for the Marlins. It was a very cool experience! Everyone got to their feet and started chanting U-S-A while she reached down in her purse and got out her gold medal to show to us! She was there to support the opposite team but when she held up that Gold Medal she won for the USA we were all united.

A fabulous day... Happy Trails!
