We also enjoyed following the Giants at Spring Training. We saw the Giants in Mesa, Scottsdale, and Surprise. This included their first game, which Bumgarner pitched in, and their first home game which Posey played in. We collected autographs from Brandon Crawford, Brandon Belt, Juan Perez, Hector Sanchez, Hunter Strickland, Jean Machi, Jeremy Affeldt, and a few other minor league Giants. The boys collected baseballs also during batting practice including one tossed to them by Jeremy Affeldt.

| Watching them warmup before the game gives Joy ideas for exercising the boys. |
 |
| Gotta get the updated World Championship picture! Still can't believe they won it last year. |
 |
| Garrett gets Jean Machi's autograph. |
 |
| Keeping score is not a lost art, I am teaching it to my boys. |
 |
| Roberto Kelly takes over from Tim Flannery as the Giants new third base coach--we noticed he wasn't quite as demonstrative. |
 |
| Jeremy Affeldt signs a ball for Garrett. |
 |
| Mad Bum has his game face on already in game one of the Cactus League. |
