Spring Training 2009

you DID want to see lots of pictures of our spring training trip to AZ, right? That's what I thought.


Friday - batting practice




While everyone was standing around watching batting practice, Chase yelled as loud as can be (without being prompted) "go Dodgers!". Love that kid.


Friday afternoon - Dodgers vs Royals. Tickets out on grass. Joined by the whole family. Kids loved it. Weather was beautiful.

Saturday morning - Leigh and Matt hit batting practice at 9AM, caught fly balls and got autographs.


Saturday afternoon - Dodgers vs. Whitesox. Tickets behind homeplate.


Chase enjoying the game.


Sunday - enjoyed some Phoenix sites before driving back home. Chase Field - home of the Diamondbacks. Does this count as visiting the stadium even though we didn't get to go in? We want to visit as many stadiums as possible in our lifetime.

Looks like a great trip! We're going to have to get out there next year! BTW - getting to Chase field - totally counts. If not, we'll have to make a regular season trip to Phoenix.
