World Series Here We Come

As you probably heard, the Rangers made the World Series for the first time ever.  Kolby and I were there.  It was awesome.  Here are some pictures, courtesy of Kolby's iPhone.

Rangers attire, check.  Kolby's playoff beard underway, check.

 The stadium was nuts:

After Vladi hit the double and the Rangers went up 3-1:

Nefti struck A-Rod out and the Rangers win!:

 Lots of confetti flying through the stadium: 

It was seriously one of the best nights we've ever had together.  I'm so glad we decided to pull the trigger and go, because it was an experience we'll never forget.  And Kolby for sure will never forget it.  He's already watched the game twice on our DVR.

World Series here we come!  We'll be in Wimberly with Kolby's parents for the first home game, but we have tickets to the other two.  I am not even joking when I say that they are currently locked away in our fireproof safe.  Apparently Kolby was worried that our house would eat them (a distinct possibility) or that I would accidentally throw them away as I was cleaning.

Go Rangers!!!

As a total side note, Maya continues to kill opossums in the backyard.  We find them lying dead in the grass, not a hair misplaced, damp from Maya's licking.  I have a suspicion that it is more of a Lennie from Of Mice and Men-type siltation and that their death is accidental, resulting from her playing with them in a less than gentle way. It's sad and grotesque on many levels, particularly the level that requires us throwing opossums over the fence with a pooper scooper.
