A Beautiful Day


Back in May when tickets went on sale for games at the Twins new ballpark, I knew I wanted to take the boys for their birthdays in September.  It's a good thing I was thinking ahead.  Tickets for the whole season have been sold out for a long time.

We had a wonderful day yesterday.  It started with Matthew's birthday breakfast at Cobblestone Cafe.  He is such a sweet person to be with one-on-one.  Then later in the morning, we headed downtown, parked for free about 8 blocks from the stadium and got there early enough to find our seats and talk with the usher.  (What a job!  He looked about 65 or 70.  He works at 60 of the 81 home games.)  Our seats were great, first row of the upper deck.  They also came with a hot dog and pop.  Not bad for $22 a piece.  It was a pretty slow game until the Twins went on a tear in the 6th and 7th inning and scored 5 runs.  Twins won 5-1.  The stadium was really nice and it was great to be outside, although a little cool yesterday.  All in all, a wonderful time was had by all of the Gammons boys.

Cute picture! Hard to believe Matty is FIVE. I remember when you first moved here when he was 3 months old---and he loved to stare at my Christmas tree lights. Time has flown.

Looks like a great day at the ballpark!

Wish I could have been there with you guys. Looks so fun. And I have been a horrible aunt this year...missing all my nephews Sept bdays. Alex was gone for his bday so I just was not thinking about the usual routine.
Go Twins,
