I’m getting ready for the upcoming weekend by going to Value Village (a local thrift store chain) and looking to get some winter boots for August. I’m taking him to a 2 day Cub Scout winter camp and we don’t have much in the way of proper winter gear. I bring this up for…
Last year I took Ciárán to his first professional baseball game, the Everett Aquasox. The team is a “Short A” affiliate for the Seattle Mariners, pretty much the lowest rung on the professional ladder.

This past Saturday and Sunday I went to two baseball games in a row. This is a far cry from a couple of years ago when I didn’t even really consider going to a game. A year ago it was a challenge to take two kids to one game, and this weekend I took three…

The last couple of seasons have been well documented already, with August leading the way for attendance, starting in 2010. Last year I was able to incorporate Ciárán and Déla, but the total number of games still numbered on one…
