Wow! \u00a0What a fun day! \u00a0Today started with Caden, Cami and I picking up Caden’s friend Cayden and heading to the Minneapolis Convention Center for the 2014 All Star Fanfest. \u00a0We got there at 7:30am and were about number 15 or so in line<\/a>. \u00a0When we entered, the kids each got a mini bobblehead of TC, the Twins mascot. \u00a0We then walked around to get an idea how things were laid out. \u00a0We then got in the line for Juan Berenguer’s autograph. \u00a0Cami got him on a mini bat (a Fanfest theme of hers) and Caden and I got him on a card. \u00a0He inscribed “Senor Smoke” on mine as requested. \u00a0Then we went to Tim Laudner<\/a>‘s line and again, Cami got him on her bat and Caden and I on cards. \u00a0We then got Corey Koskie’s autograph on each of the same three things (bat and cards). \u00a0After this we got Frank Quilici. \u00a0Cami got him to sign her mini bat and he signed a card for me. \u00a0Frank saw I had my phone out and invited Cami around the table to take a picture<\/a>. \u00a0He is ALWAYS one of the nicest people to meet. \u00a0People always talk about how nice Brooks Robinson and Harmon Killebrew are\/were to fans. \u00a0To me, Frank is right up there with those two guys. He is truly a nice man! \u00a0Later we got Kevin Tapani<\/a> on the same items. \u00a0I spotted Scott Leius walking around and Cami asked if he would sign her mini bat. \u00a0With a wink and a smile he nodded yes and signed it for her. \u00a0That was pretty nice. \u00a0Also, at some point during the day Caden and Cami was able to get Jack Morris for their collections.<\/p>\n

In between all this we made Pepsi Can Coolers with our pictures on them, played Home Run Derby and fielded grounders in the activities areas and checked out a whole bunch of stuff. \u00a0Cami made the first of two Topps baseball cards with her picture on it. \u00a0Caden did a pitch speed contest and hit 59 mph which was good enough for third place<\/a> in the kids age group. \u00a0Cami also did a diamond clinic and was featured on the big screen<\/a>! \u00a0Cami did the Under Armour station where she ran, jumped for a ball and swung a bat and each station was photographed and she got a picture at the end of doing it.<\/p>\n

We all stayed the entire time… from the opening moment to when they announced they were closing up shop for the day. \u00a0We did not want the day to end!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
