Johnny invited Pierce, our ten-year-old grandson to see a baseball game between the Florida Marlins (Johnny's team) and the Tampa Bay Rays (Pierce's team). Pierce's mom, our daughter, dropped him off that Friday before lunch. We spent the day together shopping for a gorgeous Tampa Bay Rays shirt that Pierce is seen wearing, and then they went to the ballpark.
He didn't have a Rays hat, but he did have a Marlins hat, which he wore at first. Pierce spent the night, and we drove him back home the following morning. What a treat to live close enough for a time like this!
Johnny invited our son and any of his who were interested to go along. Brittany, Jenna, and a visiting friend jumped at the chance. Our son's father-in-law was also visiting, and he came along. That made a total of seven. A van was borrowed, and all rode together to the stadium.
Here's a picture of Brittany (in Pierce's hat) with her father.
Both teams have blue in their uniforms.
The best blue was the blue cotton candy that Brittany shared with Jenna.
These granddaughters also have blue eyes. Pierce's team, the Rays won the game. A good time was had by all.

Lots of nice blues in these pictures. And what beautiful blue eyes. I'm a little partial to blue eyes since our family (hubby, me and both kids) have blue eyes.
Happy Blue Monday.

Thanks for hosting this fun blog party, Sally! Love you creative post! Everyone looked like they had a really good time at the Ballpark. Love the blue cotton candy!
We had season tickets to the Rays their inaugural year at Tropiciana Field. My son was "dancing boy" for the Rays. He had so much fun and the team was really sweet to him.

Lovely grandkids!
Sally, You have lots of fun blues today! I bet Pierce was gloating on the way home about that one! You have some awfully cute grandkids there - with the prettiest of blue eyes! ~ Robyn
Sally you have to fix my first Mr. Linky sign in - it takes me back to last weeks post - sorry about that. ~ Robyn
It looks like the gang had a really great time at the game. I loved the blues you picked to share with us. Blue cotton candy always stuns me, no matter how often I see it:-). Thank you Sally for sponsoring this event. We appreciate the time and effort you spend to make it possible.
Dear sally,
I have always love the cotton candy but you've got yours in blue. Thats superb.
Fun pictures!! I just ate blue cotton candy at a SF Giant's ballgame on Friday night!
I'm having a giveaway over at my place so check it out!!

Lots of sporty blues there and loved the storyline behind the blues!
Nothing more precious than a grandchild or great grand ones. No matter their age. Lovely eyes on a lovely family.
Nice and happy pictures!
Have a nice week!
What a great time!
That looks like a bunch of fun.
And boy, those girls have some gorgeous blue eyes!
How fun to be near your grandkids for things like this!! We have driven by the stadium in Tampa when traveling to and from the airport there. Last time was in 2007. We need to get there again to see my son and his family who are in Fort Myers.
Good Morning Sally,
Wow! The girls' eyes are so blue.
They look like they are having so much fun!!!
Great post.
Sally, I know you love being so close to your grandchildren now. What fun memories you're making.
I love all the blues you shared today ... especially your granddaughters' pretty blue eyes!
Have a Happy Blue Monday!
Sally what fun! I bet you love having them so close. Pierce looks like he is having a great time and those are blue eyes on the girls.
Happy Blue Monday!
Hi Sally
What a great Blue Monday post. How wonderful to be living so close is all I can say...I'm so happy for you and Johnny. These are such special years to be spent with your grandchildren and your own children...and you are so fortunate to be living close to them.
What a great treat for Pierce!
have a lovely week...see you Wednesday.
Judi
Beautiful blue eyes! Wonderful memories! My three sons all have blue eyes too. Thanks for sharing and have yourself a fabulous blue Monday.
Blessings,
Sandi
Take me out to the ball game...
What a fun time for sure and great finish with that last photo of those blue-eyed cuties.
Blue Blessings,
Candy
I can't help but be reminded of that old song that used to play on the USAF recruiting ads on TV that started "They took the blue from the skies and a pretty girl's eyes and a touch of Old Glory's hue..."
I'm partial to the Rays' shade of blue over the Marlins, but I guess that ... aqua? is sort of a South FL staple, huh? The Dolphins use it too. I'm surprised the Panthers didn't.
Oh, and I've also got a big blue button in a different post today. A really important one.

That cotton candy is cracking me up - I bet their lips are a lovely shade of blue when they are done! :D

You have a beautiful family.

How fun to have so many join you in going to the game. It looks like blue fit right in with both teams. I, on the other hand, prefer the Red of the Boston Red Sox!!
take care,
Dawn
Sounds like a great time was had by all! Love the blue eyes and cotton candy shot. Thanks for hosting Sally. Sweetpea Sue

What fun, for the family to go to a ballgame! We are going to take Lexi to one of the minor league games in Oklahoma City within the next few weeks. She is excited!
Baseball is such a perfect summertime outing for families. I'm so glad that you are living closer to these special people and can do things like this more often.
