Annual trip to Phoenix

So sorry we haven't posted for awhile. Where ever February went! We thought we'd update everyone on where we just got back from. A few years back Brad started a traditon with his brother and father to go down to Spring Training for Baseball (the Cubbies to be exact). It just so happens that they train in Phoenix, only six hours away. The last two years now the girls have been invited. This year our group was a little small because everyone had other priorities that had to be fulfilled. So It was our family and Aaron and Lisa. Yes the kids came! We drove down on Thursday Feb. 28th and went to a game on Friday against the Cubs and the Giants. We had great seats that shielded us from the sun and it put us just to the left of Home plate. The highlight of the day was when our neighbor at the game caught a foul ball and wrestled for it only to turn and give it to Brinly. Brinly wasn't quite sure what to do with a used, dirty ball but was smiling from ear to ear when he gave it to her.




On Saturday, Brad and Aaron went to another baseball game and Lisa and I took the kids to the Zoo. The girls loved all the animals but Brinly wasn't a huge fan of walking.




Towards the end of our adventure was a petting zoo where you got to pet goats. The girls were diggin' the goats since all they did was sit there and let you pet and groom them. What a life!

so in that family picture at the game... Why is everyone looking up?? Were you even paying any attention to what was going on, or was that the fly ball that was coming at you? (; Sounds like you guys had alot of fun, I'm really sad that we didn't get to go. Maybe next year! We are going to the dunes in Cali this weekend, I'm really excited to camp outdoors again. oh, have you scrapbooked the hike treck we went on while you guys were here? If not, I have a really cute layout that you can look at and see what you can do. I'll have to try to e-mail it to you.

Hey, that looks like a lot of fun!!! It's so nice of the boys to invite the girls to come along :D

It looks like you've all had a lot of outdoor fun the past couple of months, I guess it's good to get it all in before the newborn arrives. I'm trying to get my annual UTAH trip in early June instead of End of July and August since I'll be 9 months then. Hopefully you'll have your baby by the time I come back through in June. It'd be fun to see the new bundle!

I'm so glad you had a great time. I wish some of the others could have gone- like us- but we were pre-occupied having a baby! I love the pictures of the animals. Abby and Logan both want to go there now just to pet the goats.

How fun. thanks for sharing.
