Lahti reunion part 2

The conclusion to our family reunion, and the reason we had it at this time, was to attend the Mariners game and see Griffey Jr.back in Seattle for his induction weekend. It was an amazing experience.  With all the little kids we decided to get a suite and it was really the best way to do it so that all the kids could move around and not have to sit in one seat. For a baseball loving family this was a very emotional day and celebration and we were so glad to be part of it (not to mention we all got the cool Griffey Jr. jerseys that were the giveaway).
Just hanging in the suite, watching the view and playing around.

Our view!
Linda and Neil
Amazing, we've been staring at the lone 42 for so long and now we have our own to add.
The pre-game ceremony involved many prominent black athletes from different Seattle sports.  The Glove threw out the first pitch to The Kid and it was so emotional!
Watching the game and eating some hot dogs

Crazies lovin' the game.


Jaydon intently watching...the TV of the same game that is on the field.

Getting all the second cousins together with the Moose (E was having none of it)

E said no way to the Moose
WooHoo, we got the W
E was pretty cute with his popcorn bowl
Right as the game was ending Ichiro got his 3,000th hit, it was cool to see them replay the hit and call on the big screen.
The whole crew at the game
The kids got to go on the field and run around the bases post game.  It was fun.
Clara's off
Followed closely by Lucy
Kate and Jeremy following close behind
Kate touching 2nd while Clara and Lucy are heading to home
Jaydon walked with E
Jeremy ran with Kate and had her slide into home.

Kind of funny to watch Jaydon and E, until E fell, whoops, thankfully the Dads behind him helped him up.


Touching Home!  We had a wonderful time and loved spending time with our family and the Ms.
