Last night baseball returned to Portland (or Hillsboro to be exact)!  We took the girls to the inaugural opening game and the evening was magical.  Magical because besides all the energy and excitement in the air, the night was beautiful and we even saw a double rainbow.  In true baseball fashion, the music was loud and there were fun events and prize giveaways between each inning.  Carli even ran across the field with a bunch of other kids as they chased the Hops mascot.

The Hillsboro Hops are the single A team for Arizona.  I prefer the true athlete that is still excited about the game, rather than just the paycheck so single A players are fine for me.  We only stayed through the fourth inning but got home at 10 p.m. (three hours past Pearl’s bedtime).  Even though the hour was late, the kids did not seem to mind; a good time was had by all!  Check them out if you can!
