I have to ask why I was the one at the weird angle in this pic? Makes my neck about three times larger than it is and it definitely doesn't need any help with that!
The best part-each of us got $15 food vouchers!!! We got our burgers, fries and drinks, and headed to our seats for the start of the game.I snapped a few pics of the family. 
Aiden thought I had taken pics of Mabel and Grayson by themselves and not him. So he pouted. I thought it would be a good idea to take pics of each of the kiddos with their souvenir helmets:
Aiden was still pouting when I took his:
The kids made it about one inning before they wanted to go get more food. We made them wait.They made it about one more inning before they wanted to go play at the Sandlot. We made them wait.
They waited for one or two more innings and that was the end of it. We took them up to run around. They had fun. Aiden and Gray were running around with about 200 other kids and grown ups couldn't go in the play area, so I didn't take any pics of them. But I took Mabel over to the little kids area and snapped some pics of her...shhhh, don't tell Aiden.
We got some free samples of Yakult (which, by the by, taste much like they sound upon first taste and then you realize they're not that bad). Then we headed for some ice cream. 
We made it back to our seats. Then the kids wanted cotton candy. And I wanted a pretzel, so they didn't have to wait!Not that I have to tell you, but ballpark food is a RIP OFF...even though we weren't paying. They charged $3.50 for a pretzel and it didn't even come with cheese! Nothing like a dry pretzel to stick in your gullet. I asked the lady about the cheese, then she asked me something else (I don't remember) while Aiden started yelling, "I want to hold the cotton candy!" Then Grayson started yelling, "No! I want to hold it!" *Repeat three times* Then I yelled, "Nobody's holdin' it!"(even though, obviously, I was...moms don't tend to make sense when they're frazzled). Then I forgot all about the cheese and we stomped angrily back to our seats...dry pretzel in hand.
We made it one more inning and the kids were D-O-N-E (so was I)!
Thank you, NIKKO, for the good eats! And thank you, D-backs, for finally winning one!

I love it, you crack me up!! Nothing like creating a great family memory :)
I used to love drinking those Yakult while I was on my mission in So. Korea. And they were fairly cheap W100. I'm not sure what that translates to anymore.
