MN Twins Caravan

Tuesday night we went to the Plaza Morena restaurant to see the Twins Caravan.  They travel all over Minnesota this time of year getting everyone revved up for the baseball season.  The boys were pretty pumped when they heard "Boom Boom” Valencia was going to be there.  They gave all the Twins players nicknames last year.  We also got to see Bert Blyleven and Drew Butera.  It was just me and the boys to start with and it was crazy.  There were a ton of people and no room.  We found a spot against a wall in the back and had to wait for awhile, but it ended up being perfect because it was where the players walked to get to the stage.  The boys were able to give them high fives.

Connor was one of the lucky few to ask a question.  He asked Valencia if he got to see his family much during the season.  Ahhhh…….

We then got in line to get some balls, baseball cards, and pictures signed.  Matt met up with us when he got back into town.

It got so late that we decided to just stay and eat there.  We watched the crowd dwindle down one by one, and as these two were walking to the back room we snatched them and got a picture.  ;)

The boys were so excited.  We’re reading for some baseball………
