Phoenix Trip: Met's Game!

The main purpose for going to Phoenix to stay with Patti is because Artie really wanted to go to a Met's Game.  Neither of us have been to a professional baseball game and Our team is the "NY Mets."  Artie's family have loved the NY Mets since FOREVER! =) So, we had the opportunity and went.  We might make this a family tradition.  Although, with 4 young kids, it's a little crazy!  Alley is old enough to have a little interest and she thought is was cool for maybe the first 3 innings =)...as long as the snacks kept coming the kids were pretty good!  We had a lot of fun even though the Met's got killed that game :( Aunt Patti's team is the Diamond backs of course and she probably didn't like sitting with all these Met's fans...haha.  There was quite a few too.  Thanks for the awesome tickets Patti!  We were right there down by Right Field.

Ready to take the field

The Line Up

Warming up

Talkin' it out on the Mound

It's so cool they have this area called "The Sandlot" that you can take kids to during the game to play.  Patti and I took the "wild animals" there a little before the 7th inning and they had fun playing for just a bit.Adler was trying to climb up

View of Artie from the Sandlot =)  See him there at the top in his Blue Met's shirt, probably lovin' it there without the kids to distract him from the game =)

Our Fam- all decked out in our Met's get up!

I love this one of the girls...wow- they look more and more a like all the time!

You know how they show people kissing throughout the crowd on the big screen.  Well, they did that and then they showed this couple down over by where we were sitting.  He PROPOSED!  Awww... So cool!

During the day before the game we also went to the movies, we saw "Despicable Me."  It was so cute!  Even Ammon sat there the whole time and watched the whole show. 

Anyway, We had such a fun time in AZ.  Thanks again Patti for letting us come and stay.  The kids didn't want to leave.  We can wait to do it again! 

Phoenix Trip: The Aquarium

We had so much fun in Phoenix.  We stayed with Aunt Patti.  Phoenix is just as HOT as Mesquite but very MUGGY!  But, who cares about the heat...we had a BLAST! The day we got there we just hung at, relaxed and Aunt Patti has a pool so we had a lot of fun SWIMMING!  The kids loved it.  That night we had BBQ...Yum!  The next day we swam again and then went to an Aquarium. 

So Excited about the Shark tank

Ammon loves Alligators...here he is checking out the White Alligator

Cool Tree Frogs

That is a giant Turtle

Oh No...they are trapped in the fish tank =)

The White Alligator

This is hilarious of Ashlyn.... at least one or more of the kids would fall asleep in the car on the way to our next Adventure.

We love the Sting Rays...We stayed there for quite a while.  Anytime we go somewhere with Sting Rays Alley is the only one out of the kids that will touch them.  They feel so cool!

We had fun at the Aquarium...I loved the sting rays and the White Alligator and the Sea horses were cool.  They had a ton of them and their relatives.  There were these stick fish that were swimming up and down like sea horses but their faces were on the bottom, so weird, I could have watched those forever.
