Where's that Moose?

For Father's Day this year the Enebos, the Harrisons and Tim all took Grampy out to the ball game.  It was a great game - the Mariners actually beat the Red Sox! - and we had amazing seats in the shade behind home plate but Jack was not aware of any of this at his first Mariners game.  For him, it was all about the Moose.  On the way to the game we told him that the Mariner Moose would be there.  He started looking for him as soon as we hit the stadium.  We made a small pitstop on our way to the seats to outfit Jack in a new Mariners shirt and cap.  At our seats we relaxed with some peanuts (also a first) and saw the MOOSE! warming up on the field with the Mariners.  For the rest of the time we were in the seats, Jack would look down on the field and say, "Where's that Moose?  Where's the Moose?"  But we were not in our seats for long - we had some adventures!  

We had a ticket to go play in the special stadium playground - Kate took Jack in to show him the ropes while the other girlies walked around with Allen.  She was an amazing big cousin, encouraging Jack and even picking him up (strong!!!) to help him when he got stuck.

On our way to the playground, we were keeping our eyes peeled for that Moose and we found him - right in his Moose Den!  Kate and Jack snuggled up with the Moose and even gave him a "bump".  (Jill kept her distance - true to her belief that all mascots are a bit "creepy".)

On the way back to the seats all the kids picked out a treat - for Jack, another first of chocolate Dippin' Dots.  After all this fun (and no nap) Jack was content and very, very sleepy.  Upon finishing his Dots he said, "I want to drive away in our swagger wagon."  Happy to go while the getting was good, we left at the end of the 5th inning (missing all the action!).  Jack was asleep before we left the parking lot.   A great time was had by all, including little Henry who had a lovely day with Nana.
