SPRING TRAINING

Last day in Phoenix. Andy had left to go back to work and the kids and I had a free day. No plans. At the last minute I decided it would be a lot of fun to go to a major league baseball game before we left and Phoenix is one of the 2 locations for Spring Training. All the major league teams go to Phoenix at this time of the year and there are games daily.

We went to the SF Giants VS Japan game. What a neat opportunity it was to take the kids to the game. It was about 82 deg. outside and not a cloud in the sky. !

The ticket counter in the big city of Scottsdale. There were people from all over the world. We sat on the grass behind the field and a home run ball got hit about 5 yards away from us...SO CLOSE!I enjoyed watching Trey at the game. When he was younger, Trey and I would spend almost every Saturday at the Tri-City Dust Devils Stadium in Pasco. He has always had a love for the sport.Mattie found her second love...Slurpies! With the sun so hot, every single child had a slurpie and I felt like an ice cold lemonaide. Mattie had also learned on this trip that kids wrestle. It is bound to happen with a house full of boys. but she carried it with her to the game and would walk up to guys sitting down and hit them/run. They all thought it was the cutest thing.Way back by that sign was where we were sitting...long ways back. We all got up to get a closer look at all the star players. Plus the kids were sweeting and turning pink. It was really warm.Fatigue was setting in halfway through the game. They were beat from the heat, full of vitamin D, and exhausted from all the travel. It was a great way to finish off our vacation.
It just reminded me of how greatful I am for the opportunity to Travel all the way across the country with my family and enjoy the little things life...LET ME REPEAT....LIFE brings. There are alot of things we can do in life. So many opportunities, chances, and changes that it offers if we just look around. I know my life isn't going to be forever, so why not live like it is your last.

Well, this isn't my sport of choice, but you guys make it look so fun. Good to see you soaking in all that vitamin D. You're going to be so tan when we get back and see you.
