Scenes from Spring Break: Spring training

As referenced in the previous post, here's a glimpse of our few days in the Fort Myers area: James with his first cousin and best buddy Riley. As you can see by their hoodies, it was actually unseasonably cool down there during our stay -- mid 60s and a stiff northwest breeze. Felt like early autumn weather. Of course! Such "chilliness" met with little sympathy and much derision from our family up north. Here, the boys were smiling after shagging fly balls in the outfield prior to the Twins-Cardinals spring training game -- it was a sold out game and set an attendance record at the Twins' spring training stadium. Pretty neat. Nothing like a baseball game in the afternoon sun, especially when someone else was shoveling the snow back at home.
