Let's Go Royals! ... again!

Thursday June 7th was our 15th Wedding Anniversary and Graden surprised me with two box seat tickets to the KC Royals vs. Milwaukee Brewers' game!  I really enjoy going to Royals games (even more so when they win!) ... and let's just say it: Graden has it pretty good that he married a woman who celebrates her wedding anniversary with baseball tickets!

I left work early on Tuesday so we'd have plenty of time to get to the game and be able to walk around.  Kauffman Stadium is a beautiful stadium and recently underwent some major renovations!

We arrived a little after 6:00 with the first pitch scheduled for 7:10.  We walked the stadium then found our seats.  We were right behind home plate about 25 rows up.  Our seats were different from typical stadium seats in that they were more like a bar set up.  Including having a waitress!  That was super nice!  Not having to stand in line or miss the game if we wanted a snack or beverage!

Francouer at bat!

At one point in the game Graden was messing with his phone and not really paying attention to the game.  A foul ball was hit and I yelled to Graden, "Look up!  You got it!"  He looked up quickly, scanned the sky and realized he had been duped! :)  Later in the game there were runners on first and third and two outs.  When the batter went to the plate I dared Graden to yell, "Don't leave two ducks on the pond!" but he was a pansy and didn't do it.

The game got over a little after 10 and we came home, talked with the kids a bit and then called it a night!  It was a great, great night!  I wouldn't mind making that our Anniversary tradition (hint, hint Graden!)

my Royal 'Rita!  Mmmmm!
