Larry earned the honor of throwing out the first pitch at the Oakland Athletics home game against the San Francisco Giants on Saturday at Phoenix Muni. So we rallied the troops and went out to support him and to enjoy a beautiful day!

Neighborhood camping trip
For the last weekend of Katie's spring break, we went camping in White Canyon with our neighbors Kris, Courtney, Andrew and their future-baby.
Katie and Andrew had a blast playing in the spring and exploring all around the campsite together. Naturally, Sally wore herself out following them everywhere they went.

Southern Arizona weekend
Last year we started a tradition of getting out of town and exploring Arizona on Whit's birthday. So this year we chose to explore southeastern Arizona.
We began with a trip to Arizona's wine country. We stopped at the Callahan Winery in Elgin, Arizona for wine tasting. We continued on to Bisbee, Arizona with enough time to catch the Arizona basketball game. We walked around the town and soaked in the history while Whit took photos (a new favorite hobby thanks to new camera).
After the Arizona basketball game, Whit ran into 2 bikers outside the bar. One biker was wearing a University of Nebraska fleece so naturally, Whit started a conversation. After just a few minutes, Whit discovered that her new biker friend, Allen Poore, had her mother's maiden name and ties to Council Bluffs, Iowa. Allen was convinced they were relatives and began buying drinks for "Scott and Whitney Poore." A quick call to mom and Gramma Poore revealed that Allen's father, Robert Poore, was Whitney's grandfather's cousin. HOW BIZARRE.
The next day Scott and Whitney visited the Queen Mine and took the tour. Whit was nervous but emerged fascinated by mines and mining operations. After the tour, we skipped town and headed off on our Ghost Town tour. We visited Gleeson, Courtland and Pearce, Arizona. http://www.legendsofamerica.com/az-ghosttowntrail.html

Sunday morning alternative
Scott and I had started hiking with friends on Sunday mornings recently, but this week we decided to change the location and instead, try to make it a family outing. So we tossed Sally and Katie in the car and headed to Larry and Judy's house. Uncle Pat and Andrew decided to join us as well.
Andrew and Katie enjoyed the opportunity to hang out on a beautiful day outdoors...
