A few weeks ago, the kids and I attended Star Wars Night at Coors Field. Last year Will and I went but this year Jedi Girl came too. I think it's becoming a Pauley summer tradition. The game was at night which was good because we had a busy morning with football and farmer's market and a few chores before heading down the interstate. As we pulled into Pop-pop and Grandma's neighborhood, Reina whispered to me from the back seat. I looked in the rear view mirror to see Will fast asleep, using Reina as a pillow. She was wide awake and I'm not sure why she volunteered her noggin as a soft place to snuggle up to but there are a few things I don't get about brothers and sisters. And hey, at least they weren't screaming at each other. I'll take it!
At Pop-pop's, we changed into our Star Wars costumes. Last year, Will and I just attended the game. This year, everyone agreed to get to Coors Field early so that we could march in the pre-game parade and get to walk on the field.

| Argh with the pictures that won't rotate. Will (slightly) graciously let Reina borrow his Jedi costume while he combined a Jedi robe with a Rockies jersey. Very apropos. |
 |
| Good guys and the major bad guy, who was actually really nice. |
 |
| Us on the field! The parade was along the warning track and for my part, totally worth the 1+ of standing in line. We got to walk on Coors Field! |
 |
| More characters and a couple kiddos who took their job pretty seriously. |
So Star Wars Night was a lot of fun. The Rockies didn't win but we got there early enough to get bobbleheads. A parade and bobbleheads? What else do you need. Oh, maybe cotton candy and we did get that too. See you next year Coors Field!
