Go Twins!

This past September, we finally made it back to the Twin Cities, and finally made it to our first game at the new ballpark, Target Field (Target seems to own everything over there, but I still love Target). It was a great stadium, a great time...horrible team, but still lots of fun! We entered at gate 34, for the late great Kirby Puckett of course.

The nice thing is that you can walk around the entire stadium and still watch the game. Since the game wasn't so entertaining, we did this for 6 innings:) Here is a view from standing room.

Here is the view from our seats. Not bad for $10. (Sadly, it was way too easy to get tickets under value).

Angie was able to go too! Notice the puffy vest-the only disappointment (besides the team) was that it was cloudy and cold when we went. Thankfully as the game got going the sun came out and it warmed up. We were also able to go with Jake and Nicole Klein, Angie's bro and sis-in-law and good friends of mine.

It was a noon game, so of course we enjoyed some stadium dining...this was taken from where we ate. There are tables around the entire stadium where you can stand and watch the game while you eat.

The kids stayed with Grandma and Grandpa, though next time we'll definitely bring Nathan because he would LOVE it! This does mean however that Matt was the main subject for the pictures. Here is with Twin's Hall of Famer Harmon Killebrew.

(this is all I got...not a whole lot of effort on Matt's part:)

But, this is better...here is Matt with Kirby.

It really is a great stadium and something I hope we can make an annual tradition. Even though the Twins were terrible this year (just one shy of 100 losses), they'll always be a team we love to cheer for and always something Matt and I will have in common...Go Twins!
