Oma's 60th birthday bash in AZ.

The birthday girl!

Happy birthday, Oma!

Late February 2012

To celebrate Oma turning 60 this June, the grandparents decided to have a mini family reunion in AZ. All 4 siblings were in attendance with our family and Jake's girlfriend to round out the group. We had a great time enjoying each others company while watching pitchers and catchers practice. Unfortunately, the full spring training didn't start until the week after we were there.

Bapa arranged for a bus and boat tour of the area one day. We got a history of the area, walked around an old mining/ghost town and went on a very nice paddle boat ride on a gorgeous lake. It was a very relaxing way to get to spend time together.

Instead of making the little guys behave in restaurants in the evenings, the main meals were shared at the hotel. Uncle Ryan spearheaded the grilling and made steaks with vegetable kabobs. It was delicious! Another night we were on our own, for pizza, or going for sushi after the little ones were in bed with Dad as the babysitter. Thanks for letting me go out with my brothers!

It was a short weekend, but enjoyed by all. Baseball, boats, good company, and pools. What more do we need?

So much to explore. The adventurous one and the cautious one, which is which?

Happy birthday trip, Oma!
