We went to a really fun Diamondbacks event. They were playing an away game in Houston, so we went down to the ballpark and had a "picnic in the park" while we watched the game on the big screen TV. We had a yum picnic lunch, the kids got to run around the bases, they got to practice pitching, practice batting, and then playing outfield. We even had our family picture taken in the dugout and we'll post that picture when we receive it via email. It was a fundraiser for St. Joseph's Hospital, so there were lots of heart families there and we loved seeing them and chatting with everyone. The entire event was dedicated to sweet Ethan, who sadly passed away the night before. It is always a great thing to get together with people we love in support of a great cause that we are passionate about. We have some wonderful memories from this day. Here are a few of them:

Playing outfield
Brynlyn didn't want to quit. She wanted to stand there and throw that ball all night.
Oooo...great pitch, Ashlyn!
