Banner Day

FUNDAYS: What a weekend! So much good stuff to report, where to begin? 

Well, let's start with baseball, 'cause baseball in January is a nice thought. :)

On Saturday, we headed to Safeco Field for Fanfest, and off season celebration of baseball to come. There were autograph sessions and such, but the kids were more interested in things like a zip line!!! 

We got in line a half hour before gates opened at 11 a.m. on Saturday and hot footed it to the zipline station near the right field foul pole. We were lucky we got in line when we did, as it was 'only' about a 45 minute wait by the time we arrived. 

And by 'we' I mean the kids and Christian, as I was the event photographer. :)

As I watched for the whole long wait, believe you me, I thought of all the ways it would be better more/efficient if I were running the station. 

That said, the MPA gang did finally make their way to the launch zone! 

I was proud that they both, without hesitation, jumped out of the gates, despite the fact that the people launching them had the words "Clowns Unlimited" on their clothing. Super. ;)

But wait - even better than the stills is biggest brother Rick's videography of the event!

The kids also had a pre-season meeting with the Moose ...

and they shot arrows at Mariners' future opponents a la Fernando Rodney style! Sweet!

On the way out of the stadium, we saw this concrete truck. No wonder the streets of Seattle are so awful. They're paved by/with clowns.

Monday afternoon, we went to Pacific Science Center, a place where Much Good Learning takes place. 

We were there to sign a banner. :)

Specifically, some fabric that's going to fly over Super Bowl XLIX. 

#GoHawks.

Tomorrow, we're hitting classical music and the Magna Carta hard. ;)
