Spring Training in Florida

One thing that we love about being back in Florida is Spring Training!! Dozens of major league teams call Florida their home in March. Viera is home to the Washington Nationals. Space Coast Stadium is right down the road from our house, so we couldn't resist some professional baseball action. We rounded up our friends bundled up the kiddos, and headed over to the stadium. It was a cool coincidence that the Nationals opponent was the Astros...a little taste of Texas here in the sunshine state!!

This was Jaina's very first baseball experience...she did awesome.

I knew she would, the love of the game is in her blood!

Ryan didn't care much for the noise, of course our seats were

right in front of the loud speakers!!

But a little bit of cotton candy and popcorn and he was fine!

Jaina was a fan of the cotton candy too...who knew kids love SUGAR!

The space shuttle monument outside of the stadium

Anytime Ryan sees a shuttle he says,

"hey mom, remember when we saw the space shuttle blasting off?!"

It must have made quite the impression on the little guy :)

We left just after the 7th inning stretch to beat the traffic.

We ended the night with pj's, hot cocoa and post game fireworks,

we had an awesome view from our backyard :)
