Spring training 2013

We just came back from Scottsdale Az after a fun filled weekend.  We went down for Spring Training – Sunny had her Giants Community Fund Board weekend of selling mystery balls to raise money for the Junior Giants.  The board sold all of the balls and raised a lot of money for the Jr. Giants.  We arrived on Thursday and the weather was beautiful.  Ella hit the pool about 1/2 hour after we arrived.  We spent about 2 hours at the pool and then went to David and Jackie’s house to see them, Cindy and Bob and meet Ella’s new little cousin Emma.  It was really sweet hanging out with everyone.  We woke up the next morning to rain and 46º!  It was incredible – the weather was the exact opposite of the day before.  Sunny went to the field early for a field visit and to get to work while Ella and I slept in and had a great breakfast at the hotel.  We met Sunny and everyone else at the ballpark and basically just sold mystery balls.  It was raining way too hard for the game to happen and they finally called it at around 3:00.  At one point, Ella got to see her very first hail storm.  There were a lot of kids there and Ella still had lots of fun.  We were with a great group of people and we didn’t let the weather stop us from having a great time. On Saturday, we went to the game and the weather held up although it was maybe 56º at the most.  The Giants lost by a lot but it was great to get to see a baseball game.  Here are some shots from our weekend adventure.
