Fan Fest

Safe!

What a catch!

This one is outta here!

This weekend was the 11th annual Mariners Fan Fest at Safeco Field. This is a time when Mariners fans get a rare opportunity to go places and see things at "The Safe" that you normally aren't able to. A time when the Mariners are in first place in the AL West (okay that will change as soon as the season starts!). Among the activities you could participate in were a chance to run the bases, catch a fly ball in left field and try to hit a ball out of the park. You could also take a tour of the clubhouse, sit in the dugout and take a tour of the control room and see how they close the roof.

On Saturday I took Dallin to Fan Fest and we had a total blast. The event ran from 10am to 4 pm, but we didn't get there until about 1:15. We were there until 3:45, and had a chance to do a lot of fun things. We could have easily spent twice as much time as we did. The only thing I would change would be warmer weather. It was only around 40 degrees and by the time we headed to the car, we were both thoroughly chilled to the bone! All in all, it was a time well spent with my son.
