Fan Fest!!

One of the nice things about having uncle Nick around is that he sets up things like trips to Fan Fest at Safeco Field.  Rock got ready by playing JetPack on the iPad.  That's great practice for Fan Fest.

Ryker didn't get to go to Fan Fest, so he prepared by feeling left out.

"I know what's going on, and I'm not cool with it.  I'll pretend that I'm cool with it, but I'm not cool with it."

We woke up at like 6:30 AM! on Saturday and drove over to Seattle.  Rock was pretty excited to get out of the car and have a chance to run around.

One of the nice people gave him a tiny foam #1 finger.  It's funny because usually they are grotesquely oversize.

We got to go out on the field and play catch in the outfield.

Then we went and threw some pitches in the bullpen.  Rock was firing strikes like a machine.

He even brought some southpawed heat.

Then he went and sat on the bullpen bench to understand what goes on in the mind of a reliever.  Now he knows that they are pretty much just dinking around out there.

The next stop was the hitting tees.  He got to take some vicious swings and show up the other guys trying to hit.

Uncle Nick was under a lot of pressure to match Rock's power prowess, and Rock's catcalls didn't help.

Look at that textbook swing...poetry with a bat.

Even Papa Dale and Travis got in on the action.

The next fun thing was the home run obstacle course.  Rock dominated that with his home run obstacle course trot.

Rock was so thoroughly dominating everyone that he felt it was especially appropriate to tell everybody that he was #1!
