Max's birthday was a day to remember! I brought him down to the Spring Training facility to get a photo with his favorite player, Dee Gordon. But Dee did me one better and when I asked him to get a picture with the birthday boy, he came out with some *very* special presents.
Dee gave Max a pair of his cleats signed by himself and Felix Hernandez. He also threw in a pair of his batting gloves.
And we got the photo with a very happy 10 year old!
Later we headed about an hour south to the Oakland's stadium for the Mariners-A's Spring Training opener.
We got an inning in before the rain came and washed the game out
We more than salvaged the afternoon with three hours of video games at Dave & Busters.
Outside the restaurant I found this mural and had a snap a pic of a couple of my favorites.
Max had his favorite for dinner... crispy tacos!!!
And for dessert? A surprise ice cream cakde!
And after "Happy Birthday" it was time for some silly string!
On our last day we got one more chance to see a game.
The weather didn't look good to start...
But then the sun came out and so did the smiles!
There was plenty to play and do at the Mariners Spring Training stadium
Sammy!
All in all it was a great family trip for me and my crazy home team!
