Boy's Day/Girl's Day

So this week's blog title is not 100% accurate, but we will cover that in a second.  On Friday Carrigan and I got to spend the day together having a Girl's Day (or "Sister Time" as she likes to call it).  This is because most of the boys in the family (plus Nana) went to Seattle for the day for a Mariners game.

The morning started out with Becca and her littles (Lincoln and Isabel) for some errands and a trip to Ikea, which turned into a whole production because when doesn't it?  By the time we made it outr of Ikea and through the traffic it was 2:30 so we decided to stop at Chick-fil-A for lunch and to let the kids play.  The rest of the day was about fulfilling all the little one's hopes and plans they had made for the day.  We started with the "Little's Party" at Becca's house that Lincoln had planned.  Then at about 7pm, Carrigan and I set out to do her planned events that included Menchies frozen yogurt and watching Pocahontas.  We didn't get wrapped up with the movie until almost 10pm so it was a late night for Carrigan.  Not as late as for the boys though...

The boy's (and Nana's) day started with the drive to Seattle.  From all accounts this was uneventful.  Once they arrived, they headed for a late lunch at our favorite Root Beer place, XXX Root Beer.  After that it was off to the game so they could be there in plenty of time to get their free t-shirts and watch bating practice.  Merrick almost caught a ball that was thrown to the crowd by Aaron Judge, but a teenager stepped in front of him.  The game itself was a blast and while the Mariners lost, they were all excited about getting to see a home run that Aaron Judge nearly hit out of Safeco field.  After all the excitement they still had to drive home and didn't end up making it back until about 1:45am.




Everyone was excited to tell each other about their day the next morning.  It was great day had by all.
