We watched 3 games and one Mariners practice (where Luke got 3 autographs on his baseball). The Mariners were beat by the Cubs and Rangers. We also went to the Dodgers stadium and watched them beat the Rangers. Fortunately, Luke's nap time was during most of the games, so Tom and I could actually watch a few innings. What's nice about spring training is the stadiums have grassy areas in the outfield, so we could park the stroller and sit on a blanket. It gave Luke the freedom to wander around and be entertained by the other families in the outfield. We did splurge and buy seats in the fourth row behind home plate for the Mariners/Cubs game, since we never get the opportunity to be that close at a regular season game.
A week after we returned, Tom and I got to see the first two rounds of the NCAA tournament in Portland. Thursday was a long day of basketball (over 10 hours), but we did get to see UW and Gonzaga win their games. The next day Luke fell down into a kid's chair and busted his lip open...so, we had our first visit to the ER with him. He made it through the injury ok -- no need for stitches, but he'll probably have a scar for a while.
