Little League day at the college ball park.

We had the opportunity to take in a college baseball game last weekend: Arizona State vs. University of Arizona. While we don't have a vested interest in either team, none of us had been to a college baseball game so when we got a flyer from Little League about ASU vs. UofA day, we thought we'd check it out.

ASU's Sun Devils moved from their old stadium on campus to an off-campus stadium this year. They are now occupying Phoenix Municipal Stadium, which is where the Oakland A's did their Spring Training from 1984-2014.

Along with other Little Leaguers, we got to do a short tour of the facility before the game.

Much to Lincoln's dismay, ASU won the game 13-7. For some reason, Lincoln was rooting (against the rest of the crowd) for UofA.  I guess he's grown accustomed to rooting for the visiting team since we moved away from Detroit.

Happy Easter 2015.

We had a quiet Easter with just the 4 of us this year. We enjoyed lovely weather with temps in the mid-80s and had a traditional ham dinner. Delish!

Cassidy dying eggs. She was working to get one that was the same color as her shirt.

Lincoln dying eggs.
If we'd let him, he'd eat every hard boiled egg in the house.

The finished products! 

All spiffied up for church.

Right after church, we all broke into the delicious chocolate bunnies that the Easter Bunny left...there's nothing better than biting the ears off of a chocolate bunny!  Happy Easter!
