Spring Training Begins

Headed out to the first Spring Training game today--the Detroit Tigers played a local college team! Tickets were cheap which is good when you're buying 7 of them! Unfortunately, our seats were in the sun and we were withering! Drinks for everyone ended up costing more than the tickets! After a few innings, we asked if we could move up into the shade. It was far from sold out and I was beginning to be concerned for our health. Thankfully, we were welcomed up into some shady seats.

Our seats in the sun. Even before the game begins, one girl is just too interested in what's happening on the field to pay attention to something so frivolous as a family picture!

A wall mural of the various spring training parks around Florida. This is known as the Grapefruit league. Half of the MLB teams come here for spring training, while the rest go to Arizona and the Cactus league. It's not split by AL/NL, but more an east-teams and west teams... though not strictly that either.

After the game, the kids decided to have a "coronation" ceremony for Rebekah. Sometimes they play so cute and well together. Often, really. I love it when they do!
