Thanks to Chris' parents and Uncle Karl and Aunt Jana for a great weekend! This past weekend, my brother's family came to visit from Vancouver. The weather was the best we've had in months!! Friday night the adults went to the Mariner's Game and had FABULOUS seats, 10 rows up from the dirt right between home plate and the M's dugout. We had a great time without our kids!!
