Baseball, baseball, more baseball and some swimming

 Baseball is in the air in the Casillas house! We attended two back to back spring training games at the end of March. The first was with the Goodyear Little League and the second was with Gianni's class at school. The kids had fun on the lawn and the weather was so perfect.
 After a long day of baseball, we have been heading up to Nonna and Papa's house to cool off in the pool. The kids love to go to up there for Saturday Night at Papa's as we call it and it usually surrounds a great dinner, time in the pool, and Carmen falling asleep in the car on the way home.
 We had the most beautiful Easter this year. Nonna did an amazing job of planning a weekend full of fun events. Breakfast on the patio, swimming, a bunny cake, coloring eggs and an egg hunt, and gnocchi for dinner; so really who could ask for anything more.
 Gianni has been a busy little man! He recently won the Pinewood Derby with a car he built for Cub Scouts. He received a trophy and gets to race against other scouts this Saturday. In addition to scouts, baseball is in full swing. His Little League team is the Reds again. This year it is machine pitch and kid pitch which is a whole other level for him. He is doing great and is learning a ton. He has played multiple positions and hit a triple this past weekend.
 At opening day for Little League, there were bounce houses and rides. Miss Carmen decided to do the rock wall and went very far. Only one problem, "how do I get down?" We kept telling her to let go and that the guys would bring her down, but she wasn't having it. After about 5 minutes of me yelling for her to just let go, she finally did it.
