Sights and sounds from the Cardinals Winter Warm Up - A Hunt and Peck

If you are like me, you either did not have the time, money, or patience to attend the Cardinals Winter Warm Up events that took place across the Midwest this past weekend.

But that is okay because I got you covered.

The Cardinals Twitter account had been tweeting photos and video of the event all weekend. For your enjoyment I combed through these tweets to find the cutest/funniest/most interesting and have presented them to you here:
