Spring Training 2008

Can you believe it's taken us this long to post our spring training trip?



I hate to use the excuse that we've been busy, because we all are but it seems like both Krissy and I are over-extended right now.

Anyway, as you can see, we had a great trip. Mark mentioned the location of the hotel wasn't ideal but at least the boys didn't ask any questions!

The trip down to Phoenix seems to get easier and easier each year. I have a hunch this corresponds directly to the kids getting older. In one sense it makes me long for the days when I'd pull the van over so Krissy could drag the boys out for spankings.

It was fun to meet up with Mark and see his reaction to his first (of many) spring trainings. The kids came to know and love uncle Mark. Chandler and Sloanie in particular had fun riding in his rental car. I just hope Chandler didn't cause any permanent damage to the car speakers.

The weather was perfect and if you can believe it, the Cubs won both games. This fact alone is reason enough for Mark to make this an annual trip. Apparently Mark will need to take Kellie on a cruise each year for this to become a reality.

We had a blast at Amazing Jakes where the kids were able to go on any of the rides as many times as they wanted while all of us enjoyed the all you can eat buffet.

The trip is always a bit expensive so we did our best to make sure Mark enjoyed himself. If anyone else would like to join us next year, you're more than welcome.

Well, hopefully we'll be posting our Easter pics by the time we have our reunion at the cabin. Hope all is well.
