Baseball!

Oh how Brian and I love baseball!  Seriously, the single most upsetting thing about leaving Phoenix is not being there for Spring Training every March (sorry everyone!).  We've been so excited about taking Leah to her first game, so we headed down this weekend.

We were at the Cubs new ballpark and the day started off very promising with free slices of Giordano's and some family pictures.

And then this happened:

If you can't tell, that's rain- and a lot of it!

Trying to stay dry!

Let's just say it was spring training for the grounds crew as well as the players and they needed some extra practice.  The tarp didn't go on very well, which means it didn't come off very well, which means the field got pretty messed up... and they cancelled the game :~/

Watching to see if the grounds crew can get it right

 What really stinks is that after it rained, it was so beautiful outside!

Sunday, take 2... we made it to the ballpark in Surprise with the family for a game between the White Sox and Rangers before heading home.  This time, the weather cooperated and we got some good baseball and a nap on the lawn!

It was kind of sunny out this time!

Leah was the only one who remembered her shades

So excited for the regular season to start... you know, so we can watch baseball every night and forget to go to sleep at a reasonable hour.

GO D'BACKS!
