Arizona State Fair

On Friday night we were lucky enough to not only go to the Arizona State Fair, but we also got to go with great friends!!! I know everyone thinks we are stuck out here all by our lonesome, but for a short period of time we do have some great friends out here :)

Our roommates for the month of spring training in Sarasota and the two months of baseball season we had in North Carolina before Derrik's surgery are out in Arizona for about a month and a half while Chris is playing in the Arizona Fall League. They are living only about twenty minutes north of us, and we couldn't be more excited! I don't know many people that were willing to take us on as roommates. The most baggage some players have is a wife and a dog. Living with Derrik means his wife, baby, dog, and two cats! Yes... we come with a lot of baggage while on the road for baseball season, and the Heisey's were such troopers about it... I even think they might have liked living with us :) HAHA!

Anyhow... we had such a great time at the fair with Lisa and Chris. We got to eat some yummy fair food (I am going to let the whole blog world know that The Heisey's crushed a "brick" of curly fries.. should have gotten a picture!), watch a demolition derby, got on a couple rides, and played some games. Ryder liked looking over the whole fair from the top of the ferris wheel and loved when the demolition derby would start up. Chris even won Ryder a HUGE shark stuffed animal!!! We had such a great time and hope to see them again soon during their short stay out here.

(I swear he liked it even though he may not look like it)
Thanks for being the only one smiling Lisa :)
