Snow Day, Boys' Edition

Bryan and Mitch flew south for the long weekend, leaving after school on Thursday to go to spring training in Arizona. We miss coaching baseball, but this is a perk of spring that Bryan has long wanted to enjoy and couldn't until now!
They started with some Diamondback practice in the sunshine.

 These two are serious fans, as is the man taking the photo - Grandpa Dave. 
 Game 1 was Diamondbacks vs. Rockies on Friday.

Afterward there was a fun family dinner at Dianne's with most of the crew.

Bryan, Mitch, Dave and Toby went to the park early on Saturday to save seats for the Cubs' game. Mitch and Toby had lots of fun together!

The Cubs vs. Reds game had the priciest tickets so they opted to sit in the grass in the outfield.
  By game time, there was a herd of Brouwers, Johnsons, Alfaros, Corneliuses and a Laveen in attendance!
 
These two kept the concession stands busy!
 
The final game was a Mariners game Saturday night (for which Mitch had to change his shirt!). They played the Angels and got the win!


 Meanwhile, fun was had back at the house. There were several croquet games
 which had lots of players and spectators! 
 On Sunday before church, Mitch and Dianne squeezed in a ping pong game. Di won by virtue of playing in heels!
 
This lady is such a wonderful hostess. We love her so! 
Tired and happy, the guys flew home Sunday night. Might need to make Spring Training an annual event...
