Let's Go BRAVES!!!


Yesterday afternoon Robby called and said he had tickets to the Braves game if we wanted to go.  The girls and I jumped at the chance for a fun night out.  We picked him up from work and headed on to the stadium while the girls did the tomahawk chop nearly the entire ride there.  It was such a great evening to spend at the ballpark and we all had a blast.  We ate a quick dinner inside the stadium before heading to our awesome seats (right behind home plate).


View from our seats
Handley was very interested in the game and what was going on, so I spent a lot of time explaining to her how the rules of baseball work.  Harper liked clapping when everyone else did and thoroughly enjoyed climbing in and out of the seats again and again.  We got the whole fan experience in last night, including doing the tomahawk chop, the wave, and even ended with some dip-n-dots for dessert.


The game didn't start until 7:30, but we made it until about the 5th inning in our seats.  Then we stopped by the kids zone on the way out to let the girls play, slide, and run the bases, which was Handley's favorite thing to do.  She even told me that she'd like to get real bases at our house and a bat for her birthday so she can play baseball too.  :-) Both girls fell asleep in the car about 10:30 on the way home.  It was a late night for them, but so worth it for all the fun.

What a fun night! It's encouraging to hear that Harper did so well- I need to get my guys out there!

So, I try my best to keep a positive attitude about being away from home, but baseball season makes it SOOO difficult. Thanks to this post, I feel like I was at the game! Thanks!

What awesome family memories you are making. Won't be long until you will need FIVE tickets!

I love, love, love going to Braves games and am so spoiled when Corey can get his firm's tickets! They are right behind home plate, too. So fun!!
