Every summer we take a trip to visit my sister and her family in CDA, Idaho and the boys always take a trip to Spokane to watch the Indians. This year Sammy, Uncle Mark, cousins Ashton and Alden and I enjoyed a fun night at the ball park. We tailgated in the parking lot with pizza and coke before the game. We got there as the gates opened and it was team photo day, so we got to go down to the field to get some autographs. Sammy got his picture taken with Clark Murphy, who he had met at Spring Training in Surprise and had given him his first autograph! Murphy is now his favorite player!! Murphy is here in town in a fall league and Sammy is so excited to see him again and thinks he is coming over to our house for a playdate. We only sat in our seats for a couple innings, because the kids wanted to go to the kidszone to play, so Mark and I watched the game from the outfield. The kids got to meet Otto the mascot and Recycle Man and had a blast playing in the kidszone. During the game my nephew Ashton talked Sammy into going over to the bullpin to ask the players for a ball which they are not supposed to give out during the game, Sammy was very persistent and eventually a player gave him a ball. But to Ashton's surprise Sammy wanted to keep the ball and was not giving it up!! We'll be back again next year! Would love to take a trip to Missoula to catch the D-backs minor league team next time we visit my sister.
