Well, besides seeing Grandma Drakulich the main reason for our family vacation was to visit another ball park and watch the Red Sox play. We were able to go see the Red Sox vs. The Mariners two nights in a row. Safeco field was great and so were our seats. The first night we were on the lower level behind home plate. The second night we were in the upper deck behind home plate. It was a blast and we all had a good time. Half of the stadium was Red Sox fans but nobody could beat out three cute Red Sox fans. Everybody seemed to be commenting on our cute kids. What can I say they looked adorable! 
Harmony shortly after getting to the field the first night lost her tooth while eating dinner and accidentally swallowed it. I thought it was going to be the end of the world for her but Steven told her she could email the tooth fairy and let her know what happened. That seemed to help the traumatic situation.
Around the 8th inning the first night Boston and the girls were starting to get a little restless so we went for a walk. At Safeco field the bullpen is at the back of the field and the only thing between you and the players is a chain link fence. You can go back there and watch them warm up. We ended up back there on our walk and watched their closer Papelbon warm up. Since the kids are SO cute, people were letting them right up next to the fence to watch. After Papelbon got called out I watched the catcher, Kevin Cash, throw the ball up to the guy next to us. The guy came over and gave it to Boston. He told him the catcher wanted him to have it. Boston was in heaven and would not let go of the ball. He even fell asleep with it. When the game was over, which the Red Sox won, we were standing there and a lady started talking to Boston and the girls. She was asking if they had a fun time and enjoyed watching Jon Lester pitch for the Red Sox. (Jon Lester is one of Steven’s favorite players.) Then the lady with her said she is Jon Lester’s Mom. We were a little surprised. Steven and Boston had watched him warm up for the game in the bullpen before the game started. 
The kids "spitting" seeds.
The second night everyone seemed to recognize the kids again and continued talking to them. We had a fun time watching the game from the upper deck. Around the 8th inning again I took the kids down to the bullpen to watch them warm up. Kevin Cash was smiling and waving to Boston and when Papelbon headed out to pitch again he threw the ball up for Boston to have. So Boston ended up with two Papelbon warm up balls from Kevin Cash. He again was in heaven to have a baseball and had to carry it the rest of the night while singing “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” to himself. We had a blast at the games and wish we could have gone to game three but we had to head home.

Britt it sounds like you guys has some awesome experiences. That sounds like so much fun!
I really need the tooth fairy's email address! We could've used that a few times! ;) I love that last picture... so cute!
Oh my goodness, Boston is so cute! All of your kids are.
Looks like you guys had a lot of fun. I love Safeco field. It's a beautiful ball park. The game Hannah and I went to there was also Bo Sox vs. Mariners. You are right, there are a lot of Sox fans in Seattle. A new baseball 2 night in a row? I have cute kids, next time we are at an Astros game I'll have to work them a little more. Take care.
That is really cool Boston got the baseballs from the warm up pen. Great streak of games going on there. Looks like the whole family is into the baseball scene, so much fun to share that together!!!
I think that last pic of Boston is the cutest thing I've ever seen!
