Star Wars and Baseball!
The Mariners combined a few of our favorite things last Friday night. Baseball. Fireworks. And STAR WARS.
There were photo opportunities with stormtroopers. And Darth Vader and other characters, if you had the time and patience to wait in line. (The boys did not).
I love the look on Thumper’s face in the above picture. He’s become such a Star Wars addict, and he can’t quite believe his eyes.
Each of the boys was dressed in a Star Wars t-shirt. The two older boys wore their Mariners hats (Thumper will not keep a hat on) as well. When we got to the park, though, we found a GREAT new shirt for Tad. There were three special shirts printed up for Star Wars Night – two for men, one for kids. Fortunately, I fit into a kids XXL. Now Tad and I have matching shirts!
Ane doesn’t have a Star Wars shirt that fits her at the moment (we need to fix that), so she wore her pink Mariners jersey, with a familiar hairdo.
She knew her hair looked cool, but was kind of self-conscious about it…. until she saw a half-dozen other girls and women with their hair in Leia buns, too.
The kids made the big screen during the game by having a lightsaber fight in the stands. They were very excited over this accomplishment!
Thumper was busy being trouble. Just like his shirt said.
The big event of the game (besides the Mariners WIN!) was the fireworks, all set to Star Wars music. The kids were thrilled. Rerun tolerates fireworks much better than he used to, and Thumper just sat with wide eyes, taking it all in.
A good time was had by all.
As if you couldn’t tell.
Now, if only the Mariners would win more games….
