Best Rockies Game Ever!!!

Preston has been working so hard! He broke 3 Palo Alto Taco Bell records (Palo Alto is the company managing the Taco Bells in the whole state of California, Colorado, and maybe the states in between).

1.) drive through time of 50 seconds (avg. 1 min 35 sec)
2.) front counter time of 1 min (avg. 2 min 50 sec)
3.) best C.H.A.M.P.S. score, of 90% (book with records of food temp, etc.) (I guess no one does it as much or as efficiently as Preston, to have a lower %)

Because of this, he received a $100 bonus, a raise, and 4 Rockies tickets.
The owner of Palo Alto owns half of the Rockies, along with his friend (the owner knows and likes Preston... enough that he'd go talk to Preston instead of Paulo, the one acting manager for 8 yrs)

We got HIS tickets... front row behind the Rockies' dugout.

We were shocked and amazed, the tickets say Section 123, Row 5, Seat 8, so we didn't know where that was, but no way it was FRONT ROW!

We were enjoying the game, and all the little kids would come down and beg for balls over the dugout. One player looked over and saw Olivia, looked up at me, and tossed US a ball.

I've never gotten a ball at a game... but I've always sat up too high in the stands.

We were having a blast! we brought our friend Amber who works at Taco Bell with Preston. It was her 1st game ever, it was so cool!

Preston went to go get a water. It was the 7th inning stretch, they had everyone get up and dance. Me and Amber stood up and looked at the jumbotron.... we were on it... OH MY GOD, it was amazing....

It was the bast day we've had in a long time!

Gracie had a chance to play with her cousins who live 4 hours away from us, so we knew she'd rather go swimming and hang out with them than go to a baseball game. I have pictures of her having a ball!
