So Duane and I met his brothers and his dad in Seattle for a Mariners game on Monday night. Everything was perfecto--good food, good weather, great game. Too bad I forgot to take pics once we got to the stadium!! I got so excited about where our seats were (24 rows up behind the enemy's dugout) that my brains fell out and I was just drooling and watching the game (I might have had a beer as well). Anyway, I did take a few pics before we got to the game:
Are those two twins? A lot of people were asking us that--it actually got quite annoying--but no, that's just my pa-in-law Jim. We both got these sweet t-shirts in the gift shop.
Here's a pic of the Penner clan; Bob's in the back b/c he's kinda shy (or maybe, more accurately, he was being a poohead and doing it on purpose)!! You may want to observe the way that Duane and his dad are standing--they look exactly the same! And rumor has it, Jim can still beat Duane in a foot race (a very short one, but still). Oh yeah!!!
The restaurant where we ate supper was very good, but they did not serve their Stella in the proper glasses, which is ALWAYS a party foul. This picture (below) was taken before the wrongful Stella serving glass debacle, so as you can see, we were very cheery and unaware. Ignorance is bliss!
Oh man, in this picture (below)we were looking right at the stadium, but for some stupid reason I thought the picture of the city was more important right then. Sheesh. Anyway, this is the last picture for the night. There were a lot of things I probably could have taken pictures of: the foul ball that was caught 5 seats away from us, the crazy peanut vendor that I wouldn't have bought anything from no matter what, the Mariner's star player Ichiro Suzuki at bat (he is a fantastic player but his batting stance is hilarious--it looks like he has to "go" really bad), the cute little kid that squirmed for three hours straight on his mom's lap (she was a patient lady), or the huge Starbucks coffee I got for like 20 bucks when it started getting chilly (of course they sell Starbucks--it's Seattle!).
Before we left, Duane and I had to stop off at our favorite pizza joint that we always try to visit when we go to Seattle. You gotta love Seattle pizza!!
Hee haw hee haw hee!!!

Awesome blog! I love all the pics of Duane's family and your retro pic! I can't think of Bob without thinking of his "gatekeeper" role at the party after your wedding! (Do you remember that, with the wig he was wearing?) The title is hallarious! Prefondiddle would be jealous...
Toodles!
I'm glad to see that you say pooh head too! I'm always saying that and getting made fun of here in Michigan for saying it... love the pics! It looks like you all had so much fun at the game.
