Spring Training 2010

Camden and I got to go enjoy some sunshine and some spring training baseball. When my kids turn 8 they all get a trip with Mom, so Camden and I choose Phoenix. We left early friday morning and got to Phoenix in time to catch the first of 3 baseball games. We watched the Cubs play the A's. Unfortunately the A's won the game. We got some awesome seats right on the front row above the Cubs dugout. It was a beautiful day and a great day for baseball.










































Day 2, opted for a little amusement park fun. We spent the whole day a Castles & Coasters. We mini golfed, rode rides, and hung with the amusement park crowd. Unfortunately I didn't take my camera with me, so no crazy face pictures today.

Day 3, Today we went to watch the Dodgers play the Reds. Today we opted for the lawn seating out by the bullpens. So fun to be able to play ball on the grass while watching the game. The only bad thing about this game was it was super hot and there is no shade out on the lawn. I know I usually don't complain about too much sun, but Camden was not enjoying the game. Eventually we walked around the stadium and found some shade for a while.








































































Day 4, before we headed home, we snuck in one more baseball game. Today was the Angels and the Royals. Today we opted for the shady seats, we got a little too much sun the day before. The seats were right behind the homeplate and were coveted seats by those who were sitting in the Sun. Today we got to the game early and Camden waited patiently for the players to come out of the locker room to get some signatures. He got his ball signed by one of the Angels pitchers and a catcher. He was pretty excited. We had to leave the game a little early to go catch our flight home. Overall a great trip! We loved the beautiful baseball fields, the pool at the hotel and some good old Arizona sunshine! I would totally do it all over again!
