2010 Diamondbacks Fan Fest

Saturday, February 13, 2010

Carson getting his ball autographed by Starting Pitcher Dan Haren. All we had to do was eat at Subway and save our receipts! That wasn't hard for us to do since we eat at Subway on a weekly basis. Thanks Subway!

Carson and Mark with Derrick Hall the President and CEO of the Arizona Diamondbacks.




Carson and Josh Byrnes the General Manager of the Arizona Diamondbacks. Mark asked him to keep Stephen Drew around since Carson is his #1 fan!





Carson sneaking an autograph from Pitcher Brandon Webb! Go Carson!






All the D-back baseball addicts, Carson included!







Carson still thinks D. Baxter the Bobcat Rocks! Keira wanted nothing to do with Baxter at Fan Fest. It took almost all last season for her to get the courage to have him autograph her jersey and take a picture with him.







Carson getting some instruction on catching fly balls in left field.








I couldn't pull Carson away from the line drive alley. He loved how the balls came flying right for him!










Our future Arizona Rally-back, Keira.











Carson listening to Catcher Miguel Montero give an interview in Spanish! Not like he understood a word they were saying. LOL!











A few crazy D-back Fans!












Carson chasing after Outfielder Justin Upton.














A boy can dream!





Little girls love baseball, too!











Mama in the D-backs Dugout!





Cayden and his barf bag! Poor kid.




Saturday morning when we were getting ready for our second annual D-backs Fan Fest, Cayden started throwing up in the hotel bathroom. Darn it. We were glad that he at least got to have a ton of fun the night before in downtown Phoenix, but were sad for him because we were headed over to the D-back Fan Fest for the day. Mark and Carson went over to the Fan Fest while Keira and I stayed back with sick Cayden. Keira and I eventually made it downstairs to get some breakfast while Cayden slept. Thank goodness for noon check out! We were going to stay another night in downtown Phoenix, but decided to bag it since Cayden was not feeling good. At noon we walked over to CHASE Field. Cayden carried a barf bag and was such a trooper! Mark sat out front of the stadium with Cayden once I got there since he had already been hanging out with all the other D-back fans for three hours. Keira and I were able to explore the Fan Fest with Carson! Carson was so bummed to find out that his favorite D-back player, Stephen Drew, didn't make the Fan Fest due to bad weather back East and his flight being cancelled. Oh well, Carson has the next few months to stalk him. LOL! Mark's favorite part of the day was the D-backs Yard sale (my hubby loves to shop)! Thanks to Mark, we all came home with a bunch of new D-back memorabilia and paid next to nothing for it:-) Yeah! I can't wait to use my new D-back beach towel. Ha ha. Our family all had such a good time at Fan Fest and can't wait for the 2010 baseball season to start. Spring training here we come!
