Martin's take over at Traveler's Game

So my brother in law Ryan hooked the family up with some Traveler Game tickets tonight that his company has seats for right there in front of 1st base. Andy's Grandma Martin, his teenage cousins Reed and Grant, and his Uncle Roger and Aunt Pam came to Cabot Monday from Ohio to visit Andy's parents and siblings here. So we all went to the game and it turned out to be a family event. They have a between inning activity where someone in the crowd participates. So my nephew Bayliss raced the Mascot from 1st base to 3rd base and of course won at the end of the 1st inning. Then his dad Tony had to catch balls with a big net that they used a sling shot to send flying through the air at the end of the 2nd inning and he caught 2/3 which was REALLY good because he recently had knee surgery this month and he had to hop, skip, and a jump to catch the 2 he caught and almost got the 3rd one. Then Reed and Grant had to dress up in banana customes at the end of the 3rd inning to race each other from 3rd base, around home and on to 1st base for the win and Reed who is the youngest gave his older brother a run for the money...he almost beat him. Then they had some guy who we didn't know....had to guess what the name of the song was at the end of the 4th inning. So on the end 5th inning Andy had to toss 3 bean bags through a board with a hole in it that was standing up. If he made it through the 1st hole he would get a year supply of Moe's Burritos, if on the 2nd time which is closer he made it he would get catering from Moe's for 15 people, if on the 3rd try he made it he would get a free Moe's burrito.....he got a free Moe's burrito....but was so close to getting one of the other prizes...apparently nobody has made it yet either....now I may have my innings mixed up on who went on which inning but you get the idea...I forgot my camera but hopefully I can get some pictures from my in laws. Also, during the Anthem Andy who was standing holding Noah got on the big screen and later Joshua got a major close up of his blue face from eating cotton candy...the camera man was standing there pointing the camera at him and I said, "Don't get a picture of me sweetpea it better be all him"....and it was....which was good for the camera man...so Jessie and I didn't get any screen action or game action though we could have if we wanted to but we didn't....maybe next time...
