Royaly Suck!

I am so behind in the blog world right now. But I couldn't skip over this one. We were lucky enough to be able to attend 2 Royals games in one week; plus a Salt Lake Bees (seriously is that what they are called now? I can't keep up with all their name changes) game the next week.

The first game we went to was with KCUMB (Trav's school). The Royals played the Boston Red Socks. Every year the school puts on a BBQ before the game and then they give us free tickets in the nose bleed section of a Royals game. We love it!

The girls (and Rob)... give it up for Britney for coming and being almost 9 months prego!

Our view... anyone have binoculars?

... Oh and they lost!

But they do have a gorgeous field, and we will take what we can get!

Two days later, we went to another Royals game. This game was really cool because we went with my friend, Cortney Anderson, who I haven't seen in about 5 years. I played softball on the Bullets with Cortney. Her dad is now the pitching coach for the Minnesota Twins so that's why they were in KC. Cortney, her mom and her sister, Ashley drove down from Minnesota and totally hooked us up with really sweet tickets!!! My good friend Kelsie, another Bullets softball friend, just moved to KC and so she went too with her family. It was a sweet reunion!

We tailgated before the game with the Andersons. They had some beers and we had some cokes. It was cool! Oh and not to be a name dropper (but really I am) this is a picture of me sitting on Johan Santana's truck. He used to be a pitcher for the Twins, but now plays for the Mets. He didn't want to take his truck to NY, so he gave it to Cortney's dad as a thank you gift!

This pic is a little too close for my comfort, but we had to get a shot with all three of us in it. Pals for life!

My husband is sexy!

That's Cortney's Dad out there having a pep talk with the pitcher... these seats are a little better than the other nights!

... Oh and they lost again, but there were fireworks after the game; and again, we will take what we can get!

Finally, we are out in Utah right now (yes, again!). My uncle Gordy was given the chance to throw the first pitch for the Salt lake Bees/Buzz/Stingers/Trappers or whatever they are called these days (they are Utah's triple A baseball team). We decided to go and support Gordo; plus he gave us free tickets!

Here is the pitch; it actually was a really good pitch. It had some junk on it.

He was relieved it crossed the plate!

...Oh and the Bees got their butts kicked!

But Travis did eat the biggest hot dog I have ever seen... so we will take what we can get!

There will be more blogs to come on our Utah trip... stay tuned!
