Spring Break - Trip to Arizona

For spring break this year we went to Parker to see Gordon's parents. Sheryl had just had a pacemaker put in and we were amazed at how well she was doing! Our first full day there we went on a picnic to Aha Kaav nature preserve along the Colorado River. It is a great park with a playground, covered picnic area, trails, and a beach along the backwaters of the river. The boys had fun playing and cooling off in the water.

We took a daytrip to the new spring training complex in Goodyear. We watched the Reds and the Brewers play. It was a lot of fun and the boys were able to get some autographs. We drank a lot of lemonade and enjoyed some ice cream to help us stay cool. It was pushing 90 the day we were there!

Preston and Jackson had fun playing in the kids area at the ballpark. They had these inflatable batting cages and a mini-field for them. They ended up playing a game with Thom Brennaman, the D-backs old announcer who now announces for the Reds. It was really fun!

This is the view from our hotel room and Austin enjoying the morning on the balcony.

On our last full-day in Parker we went fishing along banks of the Colorado River, just down from Gordon's parents house. We didn't have any luck catching fish, but we did make a little friend!
