Spring Training 2018

Last night we finally made it to a Spring Training game this season. It actually ended up working out really well. The weather was beyond perfect last night. We just went to Peoria Sports Complex because it was a school night and it is close to our house. They also have a pirate ship playground and the girls absolutely love it. It kinda scares the crap out of me because Aspen is so tiny and there are so man bigger kids running out but that's life. Justin and I enjoyed a beer and the girls ran around and chowed down some popcorn. As usual, not much actual baseball was watched but it was fun. HERE is some of our past years out at Spring Training.

Diamondbacks Game!

Last week we got an alert that they were offering $1 tickets to the Diamondbacks game and since we didn't have soccer or church that night we decided to take advantage of it and go. Even though Everly is back in school, it is fun to do something special every once in a while. The game was at 6:40 I think so I was able to go home first and eat a quick dinner and change before heading back downtown. It was a little busier in the section we were seated in this time, but my family went to the game for $4 so I really can't complain. The girls checked in with the Kids Club and got a free shirt since it was their second visit. I think the Diamondbacks scored 5 innings all while the girls were playing in the kids zone area so it was a good start. Everly was happy because Justin got her some cotton candy and Aspen loved being by the pool again. We really don't go out during the week very often but it was a lot of fun and I am glad we went.

 

Diamondbacks Game!

A while ago I signed up to get alerts from the AZ Diamondbacks for special student ticket pricing. Every once in a while they will send you tickets to a game that you can get tickets for $5 that day. It is not a good option if you need to plan a head for a game but it is great if you are flexible and looking to get super cheap seats. The text came in Tuesday morning for $2 tickets. I texted Justin and he was good with it so we decided to take the girls. We had been wanting to go but didn't want to spend $80 on tickets so I was super excited to be able to get 4 tickets for $8. We got the girls signed up for the kids club and they played in the kids area for a little bit shortly after we got there. After that Aspen got her popcorn and Everly got her blue icee and we met up with my sister-in-law and her friend from work that Justin also works with. We ended up staying a lot longer than I thought we would and it was a really fun night. Glad that our schedules allowed for us to be so flexible and go! Can't wait to take the girls back.

Perfect summer night for baseball!

Spring Training 2015

Friday night we made it out to a Spring Training game. This year we went to Peoria Sports Complex which is less than 10 minutes from our house. This field is the home of the Seattle Mariners and San Diego Padres who happened to be playing the Kansas City Royals that night. There were a lot of Royals fans there but it wasn't overly crowded like some of the games can get. I think there were probably more families at the game because it was a Friday night. It was Aspen's first Spring Training game and the kids had a lot of fun running around on the grass. The weather was great and Aspen was a little Angel as well. Great start to a great weekend!
