Phoenix in springtime means baseball

We went to our first Spring Training game yesterday. The Mariners and Padres have their spring training facilities here in Peoria and we took advantage of the opportunity to take in a game for cheap. We only lasted for an hour and a half, but that was more than we expected. It was a perfect day to be outside, have family time, and watch a little baseball.

Ichiro Suzuki and Ken Griffey, Jr. (below) were both up to bat a couple of times. That was the best part for Billy.

The kids' favorite part was when a batter broke his bat while hitting the ball. They were amazed that he could splinter the bat. David slept through most of the game, in his Daddy's arms. That is, until Ichiro hit a triple and we became suddenly noisy. (-:
