Spring Training Visitors!

I love March in Arizona because it means Spring Training baseball! And also usually means we get some visitors. This year Shanna came to visit us the first weekend in March. Rob was at an all day conference in Phoenix the whole time she was here which worked out well for us to have an all-girls weekend. We were able to go to the Mariners vs Padres spring training game on the Friday that she was in town. My friend Amy watched Ellie for us all afternoon so Shanna and I could just go to the game with Chloe. We had great seats near the Mariners dugout and Chloe kept everyone in our section entertained with her smiles and "talking". Apparently she was keeping the dugout entertained as well since one of the Mariners Players (Carrera) came out and specifically gave Chloe a ball! So cute. Her first Mariners baseball before she was even 5 months old! After the baseball game, we made a stop at Sprinkles for some yummy cupcakes. And then had to hit up our old haunt of Cafe Rio. We ended the night by watching some cheesy Hallmark movie on tv.
Thanks to Shanna for letting me borrow the pictures for this post!





On Saturday we took both Ellie and Chloe and went to take out the Dodgers new spring training facility in Phoenix. It is a beautiful ballpark and our lawn seats were great to enjoy the grass. We grabbed Subway before and had a picnic on the grass. Ellie enjoyed cheering and singing the songs and playing on the grass.





After the ballgame we met up with Shanna's cousin and my friend Stacey and her little girl Emily for dinner at Oregano's. We had terrible service but the food and company was great!

Shanna had to head home on Sunday and we were sad but loved having her come. I think we should make it a yearly tradition for spring training.... what do you say Shan? And maybe one day we'll actually live in a house with a real guest bedroom. :)
