Russell Okung

I learned that Seahawks and Starbucks were teaming up to raise some money. I have an addiction to Starbucks and a LOVE for the Seahawks so I was excited to learn of this event. There were 10 Starbucks in the greater Seattle area that were going to have a Seahawk player working as a Barista. I looked up the locations and saw that there were two relatively close by. I also looked at the list of players and knew half of them. So, I wasn't quite sure if I wanted to make the effort to go.   After a few text message exchanges with my sister I decided to give it a shot.  

We drove down to the Renton Starbucks which is right by their practice facility.  I was so excited to see the sign for Russell Okung.  (Pete Carroll or Steven Hauschka were also on the list and I would have been excited for them too). 

We arrived around 2:03 (the event was from 2 - 3) and there was already a line.  So, we waited and waited and waited.  It really wasn't that long but when you have 4 kids it seems like a LONG time.  At one point Ollie had to go to the bathroom (even though I made him go right before we left).  We were only a few people back from the register when Bo started to get really fussy.  It was nap time after all. 

I ordered my drink and got the kids a treat.  They were happy to get a picture with Russell Okung.  He gave them all high fives and then signed my cup, my card and Jessi's new Seahawk card. 

It was hectic.  I wish Brad and Brody would have been there.  But it was still a lot of fun.  The only bummer is these pictures didn't turn out as clearly as I had hoped.
