Red, White and Blue Celebration!

July 3, 2010

The D-backs hosted an All-American weekend, in celebration of Independence Day! Mark and I decided to pack the family up and head to downtown Phoenix for a night! Papa Bear, cousin, Taylor, and my sister, MacKenzie joined us too! We had an awesome time eating at our favorite downtown Mexican Restaurant, America's Taco shop, swimming at the hotel, watching the D-back vs Dodger game and seeing the fireworks from the rooftop restaurant! You don't get much more American than baseball and fireworks!

Carson, Taylor and Cayden checking into our hotel, the Hyatt Regency! This time we scored our rooms on Priceline at $48 a night! Score!


We rode the famous "Glass Elevator" up to the 24th floor and down at least 100 times! The kids think it is like riding Disney's "Tower of Terror"! Cayden and Taylor captured it all on their DSi!
Hanging out poolside! Sexy!

The kiddos having fun in the pool at the Hyatt!



Cayden actually asked me to take this picture! What?




The boys dressed and ready for the D-back game!





We found the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile parked in front of CHASE Field! Just the sight of it made me hungry! The Hotdoggers gave us our very own Wienerwhistles!






Carson, Keira, Cayden and Taylor waiting for a player to throw them a ball!






MacKenzie and I had fun annoying all the Dodger fans by blowing our Oscar Mayer Weinerwhistles!








Papa Bear and Carson. Carson cracks me up with his batting glove on! So cute:-)









This was Keira's idea of taking a picture with Baxter!










We met our neighbors, Ava and Zoe, for some fun at the Peter Piper Playhouse!











Carson trying to get on the Kiss Cam! I'm not sure who he planned on kissing!












Cayden swinging away in the batting cage!













One of the four new D-backs legend mascots, Mark Grace!














The 10-foot tall Randy Johnson legend!






We left the game a little early to head back to our hotel and up to the 24th floor to the revolving Compass Restaurant! This restaurant revolves slowly atop the hotel and the views are awewsome! Mark made reservations so that we could watch the D-back fireworks spectacular and eat some yummy dessert!







Rooftop fireworks viewing and dessert..............amazing! We all thought this was the coolest restaurant we had ever been to! Thanks Papa Bear for the yummy dessert:-)
