First Regular Season A's Game

We went to our first MLB game of the year on Wednesday afternoon the 20th when the Athletics took on the Boston Redsox. We had bought our tickets in advance and realized that there was a chance of showers that day according to the weather. Well, a chance became a reality as we opened the door to the car to a downpour in the parking lot. But the rain subsided and then came back with a vengence a few times during the game. Fortunately the game was never stopped and we were prepared with umbrellas. We were joined at the ballgame by Brett's longtime friend James and his daughter Vivienne (her first game)! Brett missed a good majority of the game running the boys to and from the concessions/gift shop/bathroom, but we all had a good time. Byrce really wanted a yellow A's jersey in his size, since yellow is his favorite color, but unfortunately they aren't producing yellow kids attire this year.



Daddy told us stories how he used to sit in the seats covered by those tarps.













We're just trying to stay dry here, umbrellas up!






Daddy called these the nosebleed seats, but our noses didn't bleed?






Daddy and his friend James with all of us kids. Yes, it stopped raining for the picture, but there is this huge puddle that Bryce really wanted to splash in right in front of us...






I think Vivienne had a good time at the game with her daddy, James.
