Announce that there will be Star Wars incorporated with baseball within driving distance and we will usually find a way to get there. Add in fireworks and we will stay until the end. Go 13 innings, and we will begin to question the sanity of our choices. Stay for the fireworks, because well that is one of things we told the kids we were there to see and you will get home after 11. Suddenly discover that there is also a run around the bases for children after the fireworks...and we are starting to talk midnight here.
So use that as a background for the next story about a week away. We have some of the best seats we have had as a family at a ballgame in quite a while, 10 rows up from the field in line with the bullpen. Dad got off work early for this one. This game is in Oakland and unfortunately it goes extra innings too...This drive is a little further from home, so we actually bail in the 10th and the game is decided in 11 innings.

| Nothing beats a family pose with some quality Star Wars characters. |
 |
| More Star Wars guys and Alec and Issac joined in as well. |
 |
| We are walking the halls of the Death Star. These guys are a little short for stormtroopers. |
 |
| Sometimes one of the best things to do at a ballgame is cuddle with Mom. |
 |
| Garrett and Dad split the scorekeeping duties tonight. |
 |
| Let's Go Oakland! |
 |
| Garrett gets ready to run the bases, next in line. |
