8-8 Photo Story

There's been an interesting thread floating around in blog land lately - I saw it most recently on Mel's blog.  The idea is to go to the place on your computer where you store your photos, open the eighth folder, and choose the eighth photo.  Then tell its story.  Here's what I found.

Surprise, Arizona

One of the things on my "bucket list" (or things you want to do before you die) had been to go to baseball spring training with my son.  Because we both love baseball.  And because I love him.  So much.  I knew it would be a special time together.  

When he was twelve years old, we finally flew together to Arizona to enjoy a long weekend at spring training.  On this day, we arrived at the stadium early and asked if we could upgrade our tickets for anything closer, and they put us here.  In the second row! 

It was baseball heaven. And this photo of DS Henry taking it all in brings it all back.  Which is really nice because he's being a bit of a snarky 15 year old these days.  Thanks for the reminder of a sweeter time.
