Spring Training

Spring Training for baseball is going on right now in phoenix and it is exciting and fun! There are 13 Major League Baseball teams that have their winter homes down here. We thought we would take advantage of the nice weather (mid 70's) and go and watch the Los Angeles Dodgers play the Texas Rangers. You can get really cheap tickets and just sit on the lawn and watch the game. We had good seats. There were two home runs, one on each side of us and then as we were leaving the game there was a home run right where we were sitting. We had just left that spot of all the luck. Rick says if we had been there that there is no doubt in his mind he would have had it for sure. I just smiled and told him "sure you would dear". :) We had a lot of fun even though I will admit that it is very hard to get into the game when you have to watch a 2 1/2 year old who wants to run everywhere and a 6 month old who was rolling all over the grass. Needless to say we didn't make it through the entire game before it was time for us to go. Here are a few pictures from the game.

You gotta love Tylers face in this picture. We were just happy he was even looking at the camera.

Tyler showing his excitement for the game.

Logan looks thrilled to be there as well. He sure looked cute though in his baseball cap and his little nike's. (remember those shoes Melissa?)

You can't go to a MLB game and not get a hot dog to eat. Hot dogs and baseball just go together don't they? Anyway even Tyler ate his so they must have been good.

At first glance this picture might look like we took it of the short stops rear end. But actually we were taking a picture of the batter Manny Ramirez. He just got resigned and this game was his debut(is that how you spell that word?) He seemed to be the crowd favorite.
