Jackson's First Giants Game

Today Jackson and I went up to the Giants game ... 1:05pm start against the Rockies. We were invited by Chad Thomas, who had access to his company's luxury suite ... which is a great way to take a 2 year old to see a ball game! Between the TV and computer in the interior room (with couches, chairs, and toys to keep the kids occupied), a great food spread and the views from the seats, Jackson was pretty occupied (although he was generally more interested in the boats and helicopters than in the actual play on the field. He got to see Barry Bonds hit a ball about 415 feet, just missing a home run b/c it was hit to dead center, where the fence maxes out at 421 (it was a ground rule double).

It was dad's and boys, so we were joined by Chad and Griffin, Jake and Colter, Glen and Thayer, Michael Mader and Alex, and Chad's friend Scott and his daughter. We had a good time, made it to the seventh inning stretch before heading out. Unfortunately I'm a bit incompetent with my camera, so the pictures didn't turn out all that well (focus on the distance vs. the people in the picture), but you can still get a sense for the day... (which was beautiful - low 70s, light breeze).

Here's Jackson hamming it up...
