Bob Melvin manager.So I feel that I have to say how much we wanted to see Orlando Hudson resigned with the Dbacks but when that didn't happen . . . HE WENT TO THE BLUE SIDE AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH nnnnoooooooo the Dodgers signed him. Our house does NOT like the dodgers at all. They tend to have very rude fans... can't stand going to a game against them. Win or lose they are just annoying when they all get together. (kinda like Giants and Yankees and Braves fans) Ok off of that rant.
I seriously can not remember who's sig this is. Scott may.
So we are very much a Diamond Backs Baseball family. Unless you talk to Emma then you would find out that she is not part of that. Any who Monday, Feb 16th we had a free day, no school or work for Scott so we decided to make the trek down to Tuscon to see the Dback pitchers and catchers. So fun. If it was a few days later we would have seen most of the other positions players. So we walked around the parks practice fields and had some luck with finding players. They were so nice. We also happened to see a guy who had season tickets behind our seats last year... that was kinda weird. So we got autographs from Miguel Montero, catcher;
Eric Byrnes, outfielder we got to watch him in batting practice; 
and Scott's favorite Kirk Gibson, the 'natural' and our bench coach. (Scott was pretty excited to get Kirk's autograph). It really was fun. Scott was even in some photos for the Tuscon paper and his infamous purple pen seen in our photos was in AZ Central and Republic sites with Scott's hand.Since we were down in Tucson we thought that we would visit a historic site a State park Picacho Peak and take a hike with the kids. It is so pretty when the flowers are blooming. We had just received rain so the flowers were growing but not really blooming yet. The mountains were very green though.
The kids wanted to climb up the rocks at the top of Childrens cave trail.
M was trying so hard to get daddy to sit down in the cave I think that his exact words were
'Dad you are supposed to sit down like this. That is what you do here.' Scott let him know that he didn't need to sit down.
D loved the fact that he could climb so much. Mommy didn't like that he loved standing so close to the edge of the mountain. He really liked the nacho cheese Doritos though.
All in all it was a great day. We got to see some pitchers and catchers and players then got to see some history. So fun!
