it's melting fast but no shorts weather yet. That is why the kids and I took some time last week to join my Dad in Phoenix for baseball spring training (to see our beloved Padres, of course!). It was wonderful to wear shorts and t-shirts for a while.
The temps were between 75-80 degrees so it was not too hot. Caleb and Amelia loved having grass to run around on. When we got into Phoenix Amelia looked around and said, "There's no snow here!" - Yeah!!
Now I've always said that I love going to spring training, not just for the baseball but because after a snowy, cold winter I want to wear shorts and t-shirts in March. However, I am thankful that I don't live there because I don't want summer to come in March. June is fine, thank you very much.
The kids were so excited to see Grandpa and you can see how Caleb takes his cues from Amelia. When Amelia was Caleb's age she was still a little hesitant around all of her grandparents because she didn't see them that often. But now Caleb sees how excited Amelia is to see any of them and he is that excited too.
There was a night game on Monday so we took the morning to head out to Wildlife World, west of Phoenix. It was a smaller 
version of the Wild Animal Park but the kids enjoyed seeing the animals and loved the petting zoo.
