May the Force Be With You



A couple of weekends ago, a friend of ours scored us some sweet tickets to the Barons game. We usually go to a couple games each year but this time was a little unusual. Michael told me earlier in the week that there was going to be some type of Star Wars thing going on that night at the stadium and all I could picture in my head was the time that we went to Atlanta and stayed in the same hotel as the Star Trek convention. Everyone was dressed up as their favorite character. It was a little odd to say the least. So I immediately think that folks will be dressed up as Yoda and Darth Vader. Well not everyone, just my sweet, Star Wars obsessed 5 year old. He wanted to wear the whole costume but it was five hundred degrees outside so I talked him into only wearing the mask and cape. He was a little Star struck (pun intended) when he saw the real DV. He wouldn't even get his picture made with him. I was able to get a picture of him and a Storm Trooper but only because the ST let Jacob see his gun.



It was a lot of fun. They did some really cool Star Wars themed things with the lineup on the jumbotron. DV even threw out the first pitch. We had a great time. Michael even caught a foul ball.

Barons Game=Star Wars? Yeah, I see the connection?!? Weird...but cute pic of Jacob.

Just catching up on blogs....waaaay behind thanks to FB. Love the pics from the ballfield. Gotta get the one of Maddie and Clayton...that is awesome! Yet another great pic for the wedding slideshow.

P.S. You are welcome for me not coming to the game. Did greg tell you that was the reason I never came to any more? fo' real. I was not going to be the cause of any more losses.
